I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
– Laura Wilder
 

So many of life’s greatest pleasures and comforts are ever available to us, but because they’re ever present, it’s easy to take them for granted. My favorite time of the day is when I’m rocking my grandbaby to sleep. No matter how tired I am, just looking at his sweet face grow peaceful with slumber fills me with a deep sense of love for this wild adventure we call life. It reminds me that none of the stuff I got done that day and none of the stuff I worried about was all that important. Whether our greatest pleasures involve loved ones, creative passions or spiritual pursuits, we are wise to make time every day for whatever brings us the most peace and joy, and to tap those treasures for the rich spiritual nourishment they can provide.
