    I think childlike glee and wonder and excitement are some of the best things we can cultivate. yesterday my husband and I were walking down a hill and I remembered rolling down hills as a child... I couldn't resist! I am a grown woman, but rolling down that hill was wonderful! 😂 There are times to be serious and solemn, certainly. But oh the happiness of rolling down hills, splashing in puddles and catching fireflies. ❤️ There's nothing quite like it

    Beautiful video! My mother passed away three months ago. She was a prolific artist, poet and writer. Her eyes always looked below the surface of things, to catch thier beauty. One thing she wrote when nearing her death was this: "We all desire the answers to questions in life, but might we drain the cup of wonder dry, by always asking 'why?'"

    This video made me slow down, take a deep breath, and cry a little. To make yourself slow down, even for a moment, can be so powerful. And thank you for the scripture that you list in your description. I use that as my verse to guide my personal daily Bible study. ❤️

    Thank you, Lea, for your beautiful videos. I have been reminding myself of Philipians 4:8 as well lately. I have for too long been caught up with my mind on the ugliness of worldly matters. I have to make a conscious effort to think & dwell on things that are worthy of praise. Yahweh Bless you and James, and make His face shine upon you 💛

  • @carlabyley7983
    @carlabyley7983 2 года назад +5

    Appreciating the simple things. Feeling joy from the small things, that's often time what is missing in the lives of people who say they are unfulfilled in this world. I feel humbled by God's smallest creations, joy in the aroma of a flower, and love if a rain drop on my face. Look for peace of mind in the wonderment of just being. I think you are on the right track with this way of thinking, bless you 🙏.

  • @denisewatson3364
    @denisewatson3364 2 года назад +2

    Well said! Spot on! If anyone is going to watch and be critical they need not watch. If we don’t look for the beauty and wonder of this life and only focus on the awful what are we here for?? I do not think by looking for the beauty in this life is a sin, good for all of us who can see the flowers amongst the weeds. Thank you for this.

    Romanticizing the day to day is a beautiful thing. It makes me think of how the Japanese approach what we often term as the mundane, as a meditation. There is so much wisdom in what you share and how the Japanese approach life. Something I appreciate more and more. ❤

I've been turning my cell phone off and going outside more being with the plants and growing herbs it's very satisfying and the smell of Earth just heavenly. thank you Lord Jesus Christ for all the little things that you give us in life that many take it for granted God bless you all.

    Thank you for all of your peaceful videos! I enjoy watching them, as they give me a sense of calm, even if it’s just while I am watching them. I have been dealing with health issues for over a year now. Lots of specialists, lots of misdiagnosis, and lots of treatments that either didn’t work or made me worse. I am currently feeling hopeless, alone, and lost. I am not sure where to turn to for help with this anymore. I have been praying for God to either miraculously heal me or guide me to doctors that can help me this whole time, but I feel like I can’t hear or see Him in this. Lately I feel like my hope and faith are wavering. If anyone reading this has time to pray for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

    • @robertburns3014
      @robertburns3014 2 года назад

All your videos are lovely but I just had to comment on this one in particular because it spoke deeply to my soul. Thank you!

    WOW! BREATH TAKING! I love how you romanticize His hand in everything! That's how I feel! I used to think back in my old life " oh it's just a leaf" "oh it's just a tree" "oh it's just water" "oh it's just grass and flowers"
    BUT NOW... "Wow look at this tree how beautiful He made it" "oh look at this leaf it feels different than this leaf" "oh look at at the wind blowing through the branches and how they move" "oh the sound of the stream when it falls from those rocks" "oh how the birds are satisfied when they feed from your nature"
    I could go on and on! I definitely see how you feel sister Lea! He has revived our dry bones and made them live again! HalleluYAH 😭🙏🙌🥰😍
