I am always tempted to want what isn’t. When I’m with them, sometimes I long for alone and then when I’m alone, I miss them terribly. That internal conflict was one of the motivations to start Tuesdays Unwrapped – celebrate what is real and true this day, not what will be or what is to come.
There is nearly always a gift in the moment if we take the time to look for it. I say ‘nearly always’ because I’m just not sure I’ve grown to the place where I can always see the gift. But Tuesdays around here sure do help the perspective.
This week we had 96 people link up on Tuesday to share those moment-gifts, both big and small. And even though tears come easily for me anyway, it still surprised me when I felt their sting seeing all those beautiful squares of thankfulness in that post this week – your faces, your families, your stories, and your heart.
If you’ve never joined us on a Tuesday, I’m inviting you to do so this week. It is a lovely community of women (and sometimes a man or two). So keep your eyes open and your hands willing to receive the moment-gifts between now and then, and come back ready to share those gifts, those good things that come from an unchanging Father of lights.
Emily, Well said! I always love visiting the other ladies lovely little squares and hearing their stories. They are a blessing that I look forward to! Tuesdays Unwrapped are one of the highlights of my week. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to celebrate the little things in our lives together as a community! God is working through you and this Linky Party.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and look forward to next week’s Unwrapped Party. I am continuing to pray for your book writing. I hope it is going well.
