Finding beauty in between

I was listening to a friends life story recently. Hearing someone recount the ups and downs of their journey is rewarding.

The delight in her voice

I was out weeding in my yard early this morning when I heard something across the fence and through our neighbour’s window. “You’ve been here just waiting for me!?” said a young mother in soft loving voice to her baby seeing his mother for the first time that day. It was heart warming. Right away… Read more about The delight in her voice
