Week 27

July 29, 2020

I work with the kindest people.

I see their kindness everywhere—

Gestures

Random Acts

Hugs

Listening

Support

Devotion & Loyalty

Acts of Compassion

And little notes tucked in your laptop just so you can find them at just the

Exact

Perfect

Time!

Sure, planning to reopen has been challenging

stressful

busy

mind boggling &

tiring.

BUT.....

I work with the kindest people.

I work with the best.

And that makes ALL the difference.

Today is the day

52 weeks

365 days

8,760 hours

as Mrs. Vaughn.

Looking back,

I could not have imagined

All that would take place

All that would evolve

All that would change

by saying, “I do”

I’ve been challenged

I’ve been changed

I am better

because of you

This journey we’ve endeavored

is an epic adventure.

I wait expectantly

as He continues to write our story.

Week 25

Slower pace

Sun-kissed face

Girl time fun

LBI sun

Heart is full,

Practically exploding

His grace and mercies’re

overflowing.

The time has come

To return to the norm

My mind renewed &

Energies restored

My friend, the beach

Revives the soul

Making me new

Making me whole.

Week 24

July 8, 2020

These song lyrics have been 

lingering in my head and 

made their way to my heart. 

The reality of their meaning

creeping into the crevices and

deepest parts. 

I dwell on the fact that 

No one 

Not one person 

has cared for me 

the way like Jesus has.  

I have been taking time  

to dwell and ponder on 

The ways

The countless ways

The immeasurable ways 

The unbelievable

you wouldn’t even believe it if I could explain it ways 

He has card for me.

My heart has been

Fine tuned & 

has captured and treasured 

the incredible ways 

He continues to CARE for me.

It blows my mind

Makes me speechless

and yet fills my heart 

with so. many. words

Words of thanksgiving

Words of gratefulness 

Words that bring JOY!

“No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand
has held me all this way
And when I'm old and grey
And all my days
are numbered on the earth
Let it be known
in you alone
My joy was found
Oh my joy, my joy
Let my children tell their children
Let this be their memory
That all my treasure was in heaven
And you were everything to me”
(No one Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus by Stephanie Gretzinger)

 

52 Weeks of 52: Week 23

Week 23

I’m not very good at

Resting

Disconnecting and

Going off the grid

I see and know 

the benefit

the goodness

the need to slow it down

turn off the brain

Do things that aren’t connected 

To work

To the hustle or 

The daily grind

But yet it sometimes is near impossible and I’m easily 

Drawn back in 

By an email

A lingering thought

Or a task left undone

I’m not very good at it

The time I’ve spent this summer

Recharging 

Reconnecting and

Readjusting my mind and heart

Were at times

Hard for me to get used to

But I look back and 

Am grateful for the time 

and thankful for a husband 

who MADE me do it

and blessed by my girls 

who joined me.

I’m not very good at

Resting

Disconnecting and

Going off the grid

But I’m getting better.
