Our lives are made meaningful by big things like how you love your family and what you think of God and how you treat other people but the thing that I am learning is that I also believe that your life is made meaningful & magical by small, everyday moments. The way that sun steams in when you wake up on a Saturday. Books that feel like a breath of fresh air and wine under string lights. Opening up the mailbox to find a beautiful card from someone you love.
Moments like this are so easily past by and so easily overlooked in the pursuit of the big picture – the THING that will make your live meaningful. But what I am learning is that beauty matters. The everyday matters. Paying attention to wonder in the little everyday moments, makes a difference. The mortar between the big things.
I believe that God made this world and every person in it, intentionally, with a keen eye for the details. And the thing that I am learning is that this world is chock full of beauty, everywhere you look - once you start paying attention. And I have to believe that that too, is equally on purpose.
My hope and my dream for this blog, and everything that I make, is that it will provide a little window – a first stepping stone – into noticing the beauty in the everyday. Being aware and collecting these moments of everyday meaning and magic. Sharing these moments.
This moment matters.
