When I get a chance to go outside with my grands, they'll often hear me say,
"Use your looking eyes."
Of course, the teacher part of me can't resist adding even more instruction--
"Listen! Did you hear that?"
"Touch this," or
"Smell these..."
You know--just your everyday kind of interacting with nature.
But for me, the visual trumps all the other senses.
Small wonders in my own backyard remind me of who I am in
the grand scheme of life. Ordinary sights like this datura bloom point the way
to the One who longs to welcome us home.
My dear husband gifted me a macro lens for my recent birthday.
Now I can get an even closer view of nature's small miracles,
markers on the path of life.
If you'd like to read more about HOME, I'm writing a newsletter on
Substack. Click the link to take a peek. Subscribe for free to help
this writer girl out.
The newsletter focuses on practical ways to build an authentic home while
heading toward our true home. At the end of each newsletter,
I share a bit from my now-completed novel, The Homeplace.
I hope you enjoy it.
