small and simple things

"I think we delight to praise that what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is it's apppointed consummation." -C.S. Lewis
it's fantastic really- the miracles that happen in our lives every day.
some of these small things may not even be considered miracles in the eyes of critics.
like when an elderly man walking, smiles, waves, and gives you an enthusiastic "hi".
or when your shampoo that's been practically empty for two weeks is still able to somehow produce enough substance to wash your hair every day.
when your pet fish brings you priceless joy.
when you decorate your drab apartment to feel a little more like home.
and then there are the times when larger miracles happen.
and leave you with no doubt that God lives.
like when you're at the lowest of lows, and you just want to stay in bed all day.
but suddenly you find yourself up and walking, running, living.
and you don't know where the motivation or energy came from.
there's no doubt that you were just carried by divine arms.
silly billy is a little melancholy. but he's the joy of our apartment. what a cute old man.


we were pretty proud of our fake flower arrangement.
