A walk through the garden yesterday revealed that the Hellebore are just now poking their heads through the top layer of mulch. In a month they will look like this. It's still hard for me to believe it all, whether it is watching the changes from season to season, or when I look up into the night/morning sky and see the moon, stars and the planets. I see God everywhere and I see his abundance so freely and lovingly given. And then I am left with another kind of amazement.....why all the fuss about the things that don't ever come close to comparing to what he freely gives us.
The lighter travel pack I am carrying these days makes the trip from moment to moment much easier and much more enjoyable. And I still get the sense that the pack has things in it I do not need and that do not add anything worthwhile to the journey. It's funny how elimination has begun to actually feel like addition in my life. Traveling light turns out to be wonderful for reasons I was unaware of at the time I began this process. Many new wonderful things have filled the space.

Kent,
These photos are absolutely breathtaking.
Ah...your words of carrying with us simplicity reminds me of the book by Max Lucado I read years ago, "Traveling Light." It's a good one.
In all the up-heavel of the current econmic crisis, tensions mounting in the Middle East, and greedy CEO's...all the more my heart desires to live in a spirit of Simplicity, contentment, peace and the security of Father's Love, Protection, Provision, and Grace.
Day-by-day, He is helping me to do so.
Blessings,
~Amy :)
Thanks Amy.
