There it was in all its glory.
One moment, I’m handing Brian tools and the next, I catch sight of the glorious sky framed for a private viewing.
Working on the tiny house this summer has offered moments of both victory and defeat. At times, it’s easy to become bombarded by the details of the build. A break is needed and mine is taken in the doorway-to-be because mountain breezes have a way of making a person feel at ease.
But tiny frames of glory do too.
Like the bright violet patch I discovered behind the house that flooded my mind of grandmother’s backyard all those years ago. Or the day we saw a fawn run across the yard, not so far from where we stood. And then there was the bee that thought he was a hummingbird. Turns out it’s an uncommon sort of bumbler that’s found only in particular regions. We never know what we’ll see while working on our tiny house on the hill.
These days, we’re busy nailing down mega sheets of plywood in preparation for the metal roofing. One by one, the sheets slowly obscure the framed sky which I’ve grown to love over the months.
Yes, the sky is wide open and hard to miss when you step outside, and yet, there’s something about having it framed in all its glory that makes one pause to take notice.
It makes me wonder how often I go about my day missing God’s framed moments of glory.
Yes, stop and smell the roses, but for goodness sake, let’s not stop there.
“…to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord…”
Psalm 27:4 NIV
What’s one beautiful sight the Lord has framed for you this week?
Next Tuesday, September 18th, I am scheduled to re-launch the blog with:
- A NEW title (Hint: If you enjoy Tiny House Tuesday I think you’re gonna LOVE it!)
- A NEW image
- A NEW gift for subscribers
- A NEW monthly letter
If you’re wondering what will stay the same, I will prayerfully continue to:
- SHARE creative ways to connect with God and others
- INSPIRE creativity in daily life
- INVITE meaningful reflection on the small {seemingly insignificant} moments when God makes Himself known
Join me next Tuesday to celebrate the re-design! There will be {tiny} fun giveaways and a NEW gift for subscribers. And if you happen to be as excited as I am, I’d love your help in sharing it! {Thank you}
I was privileged to worship with the godly ladies of AWSA. We experienced His great love and indescribable glory during prayer time.
Love keeping up with the tiny house
Shalom rav!
Thank you for sharing your glory-framed moment this week, Jean. I can only imagine how glorious it must have been to worship alongside those ladies. Blessings, friend!
How cool. You’re really progressing with the house. Did you say that’s going to be where you write?
We’re slowly but surely getting there, Jann. I’m praying she’ll survive Hurricane Florence but more importantly, I’m praying for all those who will be affected by it.
One beautiful sight the Lord framed for me this week? A butterfly flitting from one tiny ground flower to another while a family member and I watched. She lives in a nursing facility and these moments are precious. The tiny creature’s activity drew her attention toward beauty, and her joy was my delight compliments of God.
I love this glory-framed moment with your family member, Charla. When my grandmother was in a nursing facility she also seemed drawn to the outdoors. What a lovely moment. 🙂
Hey Cathy! Congrats on the relaunch! I can’t wait to see it! 🙂
Thanks so much, Angie! I hope you’ll make yourself right at home (in the community & the tiny house once she’s finished!) Blessings, friend.
