More Simple Joy…

I’d like to add on to the list I started yesterday. When I think of all these things, I am encouraged and inspired to press on, knowing that I can always go back to them because they are God’s Gifts to me!!! Nothing else can explain why I am so enthralled by these priceless entities.

Love, because it comes in so many forms.

Learning to Love, because it challenges me.

Swinging on Swings at the park, trying to go as high as I can.

Watching kid movies.

Playing on the playground at the park with good friends.

Pretending like I can surf.

Running like a little kid to meet the crashing waves at the beach.

Kids Kids Kids…Need I say more.

Dolphins playing in the ocean, jumping over the waves.

SURPRISES!!!

NEW CONNECTIONS with kids and friends!!!

God’s Blessings that come in numerous forms every day.

God’s Grace that covers my mistakes when I admit I messed up and turn from the sin.

Did I mention kids???

Friends under the age of 12.

The pleasantness of a good friend or loved one’s company.

Looking at pictures of those close as I remember how much they mean to me.

Knowing my family loves me no matter how much I mess up.

A word Aptly Spoken to me.

The Power of Words.

A letter or card from friend or loved one that both encourages and inspires me.

I end where I began, with Love, pure and simple. It is when we are loved that we can best love others.

In as much as I know…

I don’t know much, but I know that there are things in life that are irreplacable.

The warmth of a hug from someone you love.

Smiles.

Sharing stories of past adventures.

Running on the beach listening to the ocean as it roars so powerfully and serenades me with its song.

Time spent with good friends and family you are close to.

Being alone in the silences past midnight typing on my computer when I really should be in bed.

Waking up to the Sunrising, and then watching the Sunset as I glide over the water on the back of the boat while I attempt to do tricks on a wakeboard.

Screaming from the top of a 20 story or more rollercoaster.

Constructing a puzzle, trying to find where all of the pieces go.

Spending time alone with God on the beach, or anywhere really.

Reading a familiar Bible story for the upteenth time and getting something new out of it.

Memorizing whole books of the Bible and quoting them as I fall asleep.

Overlooking the city from the top of all moutains bearing the symbol of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The peacefulness of one’s company even if no words are spoken.

Talking with a good friend.

Listening.

Sharing peoples’ lives.

Praying and seeing prayers answered.

Teaching kids and getting to know them.

Laughing.

Laughing so hard it hurts.

Smiling.

Sharing laughter and smiles with someone.

Hugs.

Acting crazy with kids.

Kids.

Knowing God loves me and helps me love others.

Knowing He will never leave me nor forsake me.

What is your list? What brings you joy? What can you remember so that when you are alone you can laugh, smile, cry, etc.
