Evil and badness is very prevalent in this world. We all see it, hear about it, and can experience it daily. But my goodness… Something that the Lord keeps reminding me of through all of these years is that there is still so much goodness and light in this world.

A couple of months ago I came across Proverbs 11:27- "He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it." It reminds me of the phrase, "Focus on the good and you'll find good. Focus on the bad and you'll find bad." Our lives and minds reflect what we focus on. God has really been working extra on me with that since being pregnant and having Annie!

There's always chaos with children, and running errands with them is something I have to do a lot. It's easy and natural for me to focus on the bad: I'm exhausted, it's hot, kids are crying / whiny, some people are rude, prices are high, etc. Things like that could ruin the moment or the day. There are also so many good things nestled in there too though: Millie helping make Annie laugh, my health, a stranger taking my buggy for me, a working car with working AC, a smile from a neighbor across the road, a text from a friend, a first bloom in the garden, and grace, patience, forgiveness from God in my heart to give to myself, my family, and others.

I want to focus on the good to see more good. No, we can't always ignore the bad and act like it isn't there; we shouldn't do that anyways. There is a time and place to fight against it. But there is enough energy and attention already put on the bad. Some days I fail at this and give in to the negativity.

God is really helping me lean more into the good with each day! I want to search for the light and be a light in this dark world. What are some things lately (big or small) that have been some added goodness to your day? ☺️

Sweet little Beth is now too big for the bassinet since she can pull up on things. I'm trying to get better at documenting my own life, so I wanted to take some photos of her in it 🤍

This was Kenneth and his sisters' bassinet when they were babies. It was so sweet to get to use it for both of my babies (although Millie only slept in it twice because of her adamant protesting)!
Annie is also wearing one of my baby onesies in these photos :)

‼️ON MY SOAPBOX NOW‼️
I urge you and I plead with you to live an authentic, genuine, deeply real life. Please don't trade the authentic for some quick, easy, cheap, fake reality.

You know that saying, "you don't know what you've got until it's gone"? I feel that all too deeply with how much of society is today. We want convenient. We want right here right now. We want perfection. We want more and more and more. But at what cost?

Farm land and countryside going away. People trading real friendships and relationships for strictly online ones. Making AI art and literature instead of going to the artists and authors. Super-filtered, airbrushed- looking photos of ourselves and our children. Perfectly manicured and sprayed yards to "keep up with the Jones's". Fast "food" for our fast lifestyles instead of slowing down and taking the time to nourish our bodies and minds. Forgetting the ways of old.

This is not a jab at anyone. This is a reminder of the things that are worth it and that are beautiful in life. Call me a grandma or old-fashioned (I know I am), but I think we would have a lot less issues in our society today if we spent more time sitting on front porches again, helping our neighbors, being outside, cultivating something beautiful with our yards, our words, our hands, our time. Working at our jobs with all our hearts and doing our very best and whatever we're doing! These simple things from simpler times are becoming lost arts, and at a great price.

Let's use our God-given senses and talents to better this world and live a life that is beautiful and imperfect and worth it for ourselves and the future generations.

- pick some flowers
- get dirt on your hands
- make delicious coffee in your kitchen
- write a poem
- mail someone a letter
- hold hands
- tell someone you love them
- grow some food in your yard
- sit on the porch
- read a book (feel it, smell it, look at it)
- sew something
- bake a pie
- build something
- restore something
- paint a picture (or have an artist paint one for you)
- go for a walk
- open your windows
- feel the wind on your face

And much much more. I want my life and my children's lives to be deep and rich with the things that will last. The things that really matter. Authenticity. Wholesomeness. Love.

What are some other things I could add to the list? What old-school things should we keep alive? What are some things that you love to do?
