I am blessed.
This week, I was admiring all the twinkling lights and freshly fallen snow on the mountains.
So I stopped to take a few photos.
As I did, many stopped to admire the beauty too and acknowledged me by smiling and saying some wonderful words about the beauty before us. I was glad to pause and commune with others in gratitude for the beauty that is here.
For when we live in a place of such beauty we should never neglect to give gratitude.
When we see moments of beauty we should always pause even ever so briefly and drink it in.
Today I say "Happy Birthday" to my beautiful (late) sister who was born on this day.
We miss her still and have the hope that one day we will reunite.
Today I also bid adieu to an auntie who I will not see again on this earth.
Rest well in God's arms until we meet again.
Today I give thanks that the Pokot man and my friend Jonah have both had surgery and come out of it.
Now I pray for their full recovery.
Time on earth is in God's hands alone.
Let us give thanks for every breath we take.

In beauty I walk
With beauty before me I walk
With beauty behind me I walk
With beauty above me I walk
With beauty around me I walk
It has become beauty again
It has become beauty again
It has become beauty again
It has become beauty again
