Brain Pickings tweeted a great quote this morning:
We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.
—Roger Ebert
And so I want to share my joy from this gray, rainy day . . .
Psalm 94. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. —vs. 19

The rustic perfection of my favorite swings at Laity Lodge. I'm writing an essay about our recent trip to The Letter of James for Today retreat. Lord, please give me the words.
Sleep well, my friends. May you have joy and peace in believing.

Ahhhh. I so agree with this quote. On my hardest days, it's even more essential to contribute joy, however hard that is. Love this list (reminds me of our thankfuls!) and the beautiful sun-filled photos. xoxo
This list was surely inspired by our thankfuls. :)
