This has been a full week of doctor's appointments. I am so far behind on my blogging....but my heart knows you all understand.
The warm evenings that we have been having slowed my evenings down. We have been enjoying the quieter moments more than ever.
I ordered the cutest little lights from Amazon and I have placed them all around the pool.. I even added clear balls that float on the water. The soft sparkle of the lights and the sound of the water bubbling creates a "Stillness" and definitely some relaxing moments. Don't you think that nighttime always feels a tad bit softer?
Switching gears.....I wanted to share one of my favorite things.... Crème Brûlée This dessert has my heart! That crisp caramelized sugar on the top with the creamy custard underneath, and fruit on top.....WOW!!
No matter how full I am...if a restaurant has Crème Brûlée on their menu....I'm ordering it. The truth is, I had rather have (2 TWO) of this dessert as to have a meal and only one of this delicious sweet treat.
In my mind, I see a pretty good recipe for life with the three things I have talked about here.
🌸 The sweet smell of Mimosa blooms
💡The glowing lights that keep on reflecting off of the pool water
🍮The BEST dessert around...Crème Brûlée
I think God gives us these little reminders every single day....moments that whisper for us to breath deeper. This is the real secret to joy. Leaning to hold tightly to the good while it is here. To sit outside...to order the dessert..to admire what God has created....To cherish the people around us and... to enjoy the sweetest ordinary moments that we almost didn't notice at all... HOPE finds a way to show up in the smallest things. ❤️

Oh, how Heaven is showing out ... right at your footsteps! I love the new lights and clear balls. Almost as much as the looks of your splendid Creme Brulee.
ReplyDeleteMay peace surround the two of you this evening!
It looks like a touch of heaven in your backyard with the pool the lights, the flowers, just wonderful. Something very peaceful about water and lights. I'm with you on the Creme Brulee....I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not a lot of restrurants serve it. But when they do....I order it!! You are beautiful inside and out and everything you share is lovely too. Prayers for you and Sam.
