The end of summer in Idaho often brings the greatest bounty from everyone's gardens. And this year is no exception. I had the privilege to house-sit for a neighbor who is a very great gardener. He was kind enough to allow me to harvest the excess while they were gone. I got a beautiful basketful of gorgeous produce, plus a happy sprig of lavender. (I LOVE lavender!) 
As I was on my way home from said job, I found a letter from my dear friend waiting for me. :) Twas quite the finishing touch to the day. Letters seem so much more personal than say, emails or texts, or such. The time it takes to sit down, get out stationary (choose stationary if you have several types), write something worth reading, and then posting it, makes it precious and shows that the other person truly cares about you. Letters give you a glimpse into the soul of the writer and allows you to pour into each others lives no matter time and distance. Plus the old fashioned feel it brings just gives me such a joy. I'm hopelessly old fashioned. :) Jesus brings our attention to Himself with the smallest things. Little, almost insignificant, things can draw our eyes to Him. Take the time to look for them. It is so beautiful to have our Beloved constantly on our minds all the day long, and it only increases the longing and anticipation to be with Him one day!
