...but some of us are looking at the stars." ~Oscar Wilde
...the fizzing sound you hear when you open a new bottle of soda.
...the childish delight that makes you whoop and holler when you wake up to the snow that covered up the muddy mess from yesterday.
...listening to a new Christmas CD for the first time.
...hearing the hum of the washer and dryer as you clean up the kitchen.
...finishing the 600 page book you've read a dozen times before, but keep re-reading because the story of redemption and recovered dreams changes your life each time.
Hope has showed up in many more different moments, but these are the ones that most recently stood out to me. It's just good to know that no matter how much mud and rain there is in my life, there's a snowfall around the corner to cover up the mess and teach me that life is beautiful.
"You will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the dark...for He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." Psalm 91:5, 6a, and 11
