Thinking about the ideal day is like taking all of the happy thoughts & getting coated in enough pixie dust to fly to the moon Peter-Pan-style. In my book, there are the "biggie" best days ever & then the "regular old" best days ever. Here's a few from my dream box...
The "Biggies"...
- the day I was baptized & Jesus came into my heart, washed me clean, gifted me with the Holy Spirit, & made me whole
- the day I made my first solo trip & watched how God granted me a desire of my heart in that {down to the smallest detail}
- the day{s} I held my baby nephews for the 1st time
- spending precious time with special people {vague, but true}
The Yet-to-Be "Biggies"...
- the day I hear "I love you" from the one I love
- the day I marry my best friend & we kiss, kiss, kiss
- the day I get to tell that best friend we're gonna be a mommy & a daddy
- the someday I get to hold my own baby in my arms
- the day I move out of my apt. & into a house
- the day I get published & see my book in a bookstore
- the day Jesus returns & takes us home {best day ever}
The "Regular Oldies"...
- a day with cheery snail mail
- a day opened {& filled with} prayer
- any day with twinkle lights &/or festive buntings
- days with hugs from little ones
- any day with fresh flowers
- a day an Anthropologie catalogue is waiting inside my mailbox
- a day when the perfect song comes on the radio at just the right moment & you know it's a "God-thing"
- days when my eyes see the blessings & count em up & write em down with thanksgiving on my lips & heart
What's on the itinerary for your best day{s} ever?
Much Love,

Ahh, I've missed your blog! This is such a creative way to share your "ideal" day by sharing your "biggies", your not-yets, and your "regular oldies"(but goodies!). Beautiful list!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely list, Bess!
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing how God gives us little reminders that He's always there, like the perfect song or quote showing up just when we need it. :)
Thanks for sharing!
I love the take you took on this! So many wonderful moments.
