Is May really over? Where did my Spring go? Time is slipping through my fingers, and I want to grab it back. As an exercise of gratitude and grace, I am stopping today to share lessons learned in hopes of capturing those moments before the memory fades.

  • Trolling on Instagram sometimes leads to gold. A friend of a friend posted a picture of a park that was close to home, on the water, and completely new to me. We did a little exploring using our GPS, and now we have a happy place to visit.

  • Ten years after I stopped teaching, I can still quote most of Mark Antony’s soliloquy from Julius Caesar. However, I cannot remember my current email password.  Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears and your memory.
  • God loves to repeat Himself to make sure I am listening. Earlier this month, I shared with you about how God is teaching me to appreciate the gift of just breathing. Then, last night I opened up chapter 5 to read a little Deidra Riggs and discovered the chapter was titled “Breathless.”

 

We are infinitely and exquisitely crafted by the God who gives us this one race to run. We should not underestimate the breath in our lungs and how it links us to the One who gives us life. Every breath we breathe is a gossamer testimony rising toward the heavens.

  • My mom bought me an electric pressure cooker and showed me how to use it. Let us pray that I do not blow the house up.

  • I moved around the furniture in the family room and made room for a $100 table I bought on Amazon.  Viola!  Now, I have a beautiful spot by the window to think, breathe, dream, and write.  Yay!

  1. I agree that spring has zipped past. I’m still pondering how May came and went. I laughed out loud at your pressure cooker comments. It looks rather complicated. Hopefully, the house remains intact. πŸ™‚ I love music, and am also a writer of musicβ€”a God-given gift, for sure. Blessings to you.

  2. I love your writing spot! What a view to write, think, plan or pray!

    I also am inspired by music, and plan to write more about songs on my blog. I had never heard of anyone doing that, but decided that good music offers some of the best devotional content!

    So nice to “meet” you!

  3. Hi Lyli,

    Linking up with you from the #raralinkup over at Kelly Balarie’s place! Very encouraged by your thoughts as we enter a new month and say goodbye to May. Am always excited about new books and will check out the one you shared by Deidra Riggs. It looks great. I always have a fear of blowing up the house, even without a pressure cooker! Let me know how you get on with it! I love the space where you have chosen to write – may many fruitful words be penned there!

    Blessings,

    Ruth πŸ™‚

  4. So happy that you’re loving Deidra’s book. Me too.
    And, don’t worry about the pressure cooker. I’ve been using the old fashioned varieties for over 25 years and if I can do it without blowing anything up, ANYONE can!

  5. As one whose former career was in music, I am constantly inspired by music! Today, it was the music of the birds outside my window. This was a tough week for me as I was home for most of it due to migraines. But today while I was too weak to go out and about, the window in my kitchen was open and the birds were singing, and I had a moment with God through their music. πŸ™‚

  6. I am so with you, Lyli! May FLEW by and just after Jesus, music is the heartbeat of life! I’m cracking up at your pressure cooker because I would for sure blow up the house with that gadget πŸ˜‰ Oh, and the reading space is awesome!

    Thanks so much for sharing with us at Moments of Hope!

    Blessings and smiles,
    Lori

  7. I’m right there with you – where did May go?! Every year spins faster than the one before it. Especially love the idea of writing and posting gratitudes before the memory of them fades. I loved how you found a new favorite spot to visit via Instagram! Blessings and thank you for sharing!

  8. Well, we have some things in common…music (so much inspires and encourages me, especially Just Breathe! And my pressure cooker is going right now:) I’m seriously going to take stock of what I learned in June beyond counting in my 1000 Gifts. And what a beautiful space you have created for you time with God! Love it!

  9. β€œHowever, I cannot remember my current email password.” ha. That is me too!

    I was always afraid of my mother’s pressure cooker. I received one as a wedding gift but never used it so I finally sold it ridiculously underpriced at a yard sale.
