From Alaska to Moscow, it seems like there’s one thing everyone can agree on:

You’ve got to come for a walk in an autumn woods

yeah, sometimes you just can’t contain the happy!

Not sure I could love this more?

There are no. other. people’s. children, no other people’s sisters, no other people’s people —

when loving your enemies, the stranger, & your neighbor feels way too risky

Hey soul? Deep breath & smile — and the happy, relief of the whole shebang is? No one gets to joy by trying to make everything perfect.

One only arrives at joy by seeing in every imperfection all that is joy. 

In the midst of all that’s been imperfect this week, there’s the perfect mercy of Jesus & when you can count on Him to be with you, to carry you, to hold you?

Yeah, you can just go face today with JOY — God’s got your back.

Because the thing is?

Trying to be perfect — ends in burn out

Being grateful through the imperfect — lights hearts on fire!
