A note from LoveLetterist:

I suspect there was a time when the meaning of Myles Munroe's quote would have flown right over my head.

What I'm taking from his words this morning is that how we show up for what we build is more important than the actual product. 🤔

The skillfully applied features from evergreen trees is a wonderful touch! The door wreath, possibly featuring a small, red berry or cinnamon heart, must have taken a bit of magic to create the final look. Brava!

Myles Munroe’s take on buildings not providing a legacy worth our efforts - if our intention is to create a true legacy - aligns with Jesus’ comment that our bodies are the Temple of the Living God. That God resides within each and every one of us.

Off into this new day, with full hearts and souls, to guide our striving!

It’s a ribbon. I cut the ends too short.😂 measure twice, cut once. 🤭

Richard Rohr’s book Immortal Diamond is a beatifiul meditation/invitation to find God inside of ourselves. It just so I happens I was reading it at the time if c diagnosis. Talk about life giving us the tools we need — if only we pay attention!

Taking the view that life provides the tools we need, and recognizing that’s what is going on, contributes to our sense of gratitude, of grace.

Read a quote from Simone Weil in Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Btreathnach:

Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is Grace itself which makes this void.

No need to straight-edge the pencil lines — the whole artwork is freehand!

Are the lines straight? No!

Are the twigs straight? No!

Are the needles straight? N— actually, they are, mostly, now that I look closely. Okay, fine, whatever, looks great overall, change nothing! 💚
