The blessings we don’t count

 This holiday has been an eye opening experience. I’ve had to be fully present to be in the Presence.  I’ve savored silence so I can relish in the noise. There is a gratitude for so much, I can explain. And much that I cannot. I still have concerns, but I’m slowly releasing my need for an answer. Much of life I can’t formulate a response. That’s why I have to turn to the Greatest mystery yet the certain truth of life. I’ve never fully appreciated what a gift it is, to express emotions in this way. The written word. Every time I type, I get giddy anticipating your response. Thank you for being here for me and with me. I’m beyond grateful. Thank you.

  1. Just embracing life is a good thing. The good, the not so good and the bad. It's our approach to what happens to us that is key.

    Have a fabulous day and week, Regine. ♥

  13. I love how you have expressed yourself here in this post. Being present to the Presence is a very special thing indeed...and to "savour the silence so you can relish the noise"...I get it. Totally. Yes, being able to share these thoughts in the written word is a wonderful gift. I'm so glad God gave us this gift of expression. May He continue to bless you with His Presence...and may you "Be still and know that I Am God" in the New Year. (Psalm 46:10. God bless you dear friend.

  17. 'I’ve savored silence so I can relish in the noise'.....I love that sentence of yours. I have noticed that so many people just do not know how to be still and quiet themselves. They are always going, rushing, doing. It puzzles me. I think when we savor the quiet, we can appreciate being around the noise more. If I'm around people and noise all the time, my head starts spinning haha.

    love your dear posts, Regine.

  18. Silence in word and in the place I am in is sacred to me. It can only be felt in the present. We can anticipate tomorrow but today is too precious to not live in the fullest. Blessings are in the here and now.

    Hugs and Blessings in abundance,
    Jim
