The evidence is everywhere.
Love takes root
and blooms.
We are privileged workers
tending glorious, ruffled color,
this life.
The evidence is everywhere.
Love shines from ordinary days.
Words build up,
and sometimes we see ourselves through the eyes of another,
and we are beautiful.
Love life leaves marks everywhere,
this color, this art,
this us.
Connecting through the power of stories written, spoken and lived
![Sometimes nothing says it quite like the way of a child. Before the rest of the house wakes, I read the account of Easter morning in the Jesus Storybook Bible: "And it seemed to [Mary Magdalene] that morning, as she ran, almost as if the whole world was singing for joy-- the trees, tiny sounds in the grass, the birds...her heart." The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive, and so are we. And it is new. Once again. Yes, it is always new...He is risen indeed!](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e35/17934124_1877271335863004_8139172358331039744_n.jpg "Sometimes nothing says it quite like the way of a child.

Thank you, friend. Enjoy tending your garden — one of life’s simplest gifts. And keep tending your writing, too. You create such beauty there.
A beautiful observation celebrating nature. Spring awakens our senses, we feel refreshed and re-energized. New chapters in lives are written. Love and living renewed. Happy Spring!
Thank you, Papa! And happy spring to you too! It’s almost here. :)

A lovely picture of creation this Lent, leading up to the ultimate love gift from our creator.
So good how the earth’s season matches up so beautifully with this faith one. Thank you for that reminder, Deb.
Love is everywhere! Especially to see it through the eyes of our children.
