Back to Simple

Little Notes of Love and Peace

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before; however, I work a 40 hour/week job. In all reality, there are many weeks when those hours are considerably more. For some time I have been struggling with whether this is best for my family and for me. My husband and I have made a 5 year plan to move back out into the country where I can cut back on my hours and work more at home. It is a wonderful plan and everyday that I go to work I keep that thought in my mind. Some days though, it feels very far away. Today was one of those days. However, God is ever faithful. First my mom calls me and told me that she has been praying for us and really felt that things will move in our lives making our dreams possible. Secondly, while sitting here working and trying not to daydream about working in our garden or canning the plums my friend brought me, I noticed a beautiful butterfly on my window. I know it sounds a little cheesy; however, it really made me smile and think about how much God really loves us and wants the best for us. I also thought about how he will bring us through the times of struggle and speak peace and love into our lives. Today, I believe that my Mom's call and that butterfly were two little notes of love and peace from God. They pick me up just when I need it, just in the nick of time!

Wishing you all little notes of love and peace!
