Love Notes from God

I love this quote that my blogging friend Cathy recently shared on her blog:

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

If that’s the case, God’s been sending us lots of love notes lately.  

Seems like the weather has turned a corner lately and although it’s still been hot in the afternoons, the mornings have been cooler.  Glorious!  So what better way to celebrate a 68 degree temperature than by taking photos! Smile

Beauty in every direction.  Check out these diamonds and hearts right there in the grass.

The morning sun seemed to have a softness to it.  Such a lovely way to for God to say, “Good morning.”

I love that God goes to great lengths to tell us he loves us.

And I love that He seems to know when we need it most.

Peace, Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
