a gift

last night we had chuck and tia over for dinner

i was so surprised when she handed me this beautiful candle!

wow
i wasn't expecting anything other then a lovely evening together
connecting after too long


a pleasant surprise

you know how much i love hummingbirds.

how beautiful is this?

it got me thinking about the art of being thoughtful

i believe in some ways it is becoming a lost art

the art of thinking of someone else

and doing or saying something for them

tia is thoughtful
and caring
and alive
here is a quote off her fb page:

Love through me, Love of God.
Make me like thy clear air
through which, unhindered, colors pass
As if it were not there.
--(Amy Carmichael)

i encourage you to do something for someone tomorrow 

or today

whenever you read this

write them a note, give them a call, 

buy them a cupcake,

make time for them in your busy schedule

practice the art of thoughtfulness

it is such a blessing

i am blessed by my little candle

it's soft glow warms my heart 

because i know the heart who gave it to me

what about you?

who are you going to be thoughtful towards?

go for it!
