There is nothing quite as peaceful as a favorite cup of a warm morning beverage accompanied by wildlife playing in the yard. Birds, squirrels, and bunnies abound on summer mornings. It is mostly quiet and definitely good for the soul.
"Not every blessing is loud. Some arrive quietly, like birds at the feeder and peace settling into your soul."
Quiet blessings are the ones we forget to count. Our favorite people and fur babies around us add to the contentment. For those who are on summer break, there is an unhurriedness that is restorative.
Other quiet blessings that come to mind are my large print Bibles and zooms on our screens and phones. Simple but game changers when we need them to be.
Every day has moments that are simple, quiet, and very good. We are preparing for another round of storms here in "Heart of Illinois." It makes me more appreciative of the quiet blessings that surround us at the break of day.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." -Lamentations 3:22-23
Take in the calm before the storm, figuratively and literally.
Today, I am grateful for quiet blessings.
