There is a lot in life that draws us away, detracts us from presence in a moment, stealing focus from all we have into foolish for what we lack.
The last few days, I have slowed down, played more football in backyard than I can remember, explored docks and mud shoals, rediscovered small and privileged blessings in this life that is mine, made with family that is the same.
Today, I am grateful.
Today, I am thankful; thankful for every blessing and joy that doesn’t have to be—yet is.
We are all blessed. Today and every day—this—may God allow our eyes to see.
