  1. SIMPLICITY

    Do the little things well.

    When washing up I look at this delicate bloom on my kitchen window ledge. It has been flowering for a couple of months now. According to the time of day and the way the light falls, I notice different colours in it. I thank God for its beauty and ask that I may see the hidden beauty in those whom I may struggle to love, and that they may see it in me too!
