~ Simple Pleasures ~

[brinny]

the moon...gotta mention it again...i confronted a drug dealer last night...asked him his name...asked him if he'd ever learned about God, he said yes...i pointed to the moon and i said, meaning that God is as here, as visible as real as that moon up there, and He's watching you.....and although he denied being a drug dealer, he acknowledged leaning about God, having family that believe in God, and as I shook his hand, and we said goodbye, he may not realize it, but a seed was planted, and he will have choices to make, very soon. I do what i do. God does the rest.

yes, it's a bit strange to say, but this is a simple pleasure...watching God work in the most unlikeliest of places.....here in the concrete jungle.....now i see why He insisted I stay here.

I love looking at the rocks along the river, there are some pretty cool shaped ones, and some pretty colored ones and you can't forget aobut the shiney ones

Belting out your favourite tune while driving in the car ...

 

[mssurrendered]

The sound of children playing in a school yard.

 

[byhisstripes]

The smell of the laundry after it comes out of the drier

 

[mssurrendered]

The smell of fresh cut wood when out getting firewood.

Driving along and suddenly hearing church bells. Always makes me want to stop and just listen. I think it takes me back to childhood. The "big" Baptist church in our small town always played church bells at noon every day. When we heard the church bells we knew that my dad would be home very shortly for lunch.

 

[mssurrendered]

Oh yes church bells.We have them in our town at noon.And I love the sound too.

I also love the sound of bag pipes.Especially Amazing Grace.
