How does perfect look to you?

If I had my choice, my ideal day would begin with a walk on the beach.. and then include sipping steamy cups of fragrant coffee (caramel lattes are my favourite) at a seaside cafe.

There'd be plenty of opportunities to enjoy time with my family and grandkids, and maybe I'd include some creating and designing activities- but not in the garden. Aghh.. no, not gardening. .. though I love flowers.

Oh, and I'd end the day curled up with a good book. What's your ideal day look like?

So yes, I'm sure I could design my day, my life, and it would look organised and meaningful and beautiful.

But it's not. There aren't too many moments to relax. It's messy and disjointed and discordant and, when children are involved, it's sort of sticky. But it has its own beauty if only I stop and look.

So... join me and discover the wonder and beauty that God can create with a messy, imperfect life. I'll be sharing fun, family ideas and special moments with grandkids- I know.. with eight grandkids, my life is overflowing with them.

And although life is rarely perfect, I've discovered that you can find encouragement and inspiration. And yes, you have to look for it but if you pause and slow down a little, you'll see the hidden beauty that God is silently slipping into your daily activities.... those special 'moments that matter.' But if you blink, you'll miss them.

Please join me...
