And I write….
because I made a commitment to myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope and to myself to share our fishbowl story. It is one of working hard and playing hard, of laughter and tears, of friends and family, of major events and everyday moments, yesterday and today. The truth is that we are everyday people living ordinary lives, but choose to see through the lens of our Lord.
If we stop to think about the wonder of everyday life, we would realize how extraordinary it really is. Each morning as I open my eyes, I am met with a flood of colors; whether bright and cheery, dark or grey, they are all of nature - God’s very own palette. And every color in a box of crayons is just a copy of one that waits outside of our front door. I close my eyes and am still for moments of prayer…. and in those quiet times I feel my own heart beat and thank God for life itself. And I stretch, placing my hand over my mouth in a wide yawn and feel the miracle of touch.
The very sight of him, the sound of his heartbeat, the gentleness of his touch; the everyday ordinary moments are what I miss so much. And as I look to the heavens in prayer, I am filled with gratitude, and thank God for ordinary moments that are really quite extraordinary.
