Sweetest things in life..

"The best things in life are nearest:
breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet, duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.

Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread
are the sweetest things in life!"

~Robert Louis Stevenson

    It is in the everyday things that we can truly see our worth. It is where our Lord speaks the loudest! m.

    That's one of my favorite paintings by Hans Heysen, and a favorite passage of Robert Louis Stevenson.

    Have a blessed weekend.
