As I sat at my kitchen table this morning, reading and writing, I sipped my french roast coffee (with a touch of creamer, of course) and took a deep breath.

obviously, coffee n- cream refreshes me!

It is still a mystery to me that spending time in the word of God lightens my heart.  I love being reminded of His goodness and grace, and mercies that are new every morning.  It is like air to me.  and water….and sustenance.  There is a restful peace in these simple moments:  I sit at the piano and sing a new song.  I write a friend a hand-written card, and SEND IT!  I pull my girls onto my lap…even though they are almost taller than me!….I sit with Sean and share a cup of coffee….fresh flowers from my garden, a good book…..

What refreshes you, my friend?
