We've had this uplifting graphic hanging in our studio for a couple weeks and we wanted to share it with you today.
The idea of laughing without fear of the future is absolutely liberating. A really-good-laugh, that spontaneous sound that rises from the heart, spills out through a smile and fills up your whole being with a carefree, uplifting, lightheartedness, is so, so good for your soul.
When was the last time you had a really good belly laugh?
You know, those kind that little children always seem to have just under the surface of their cute, flushed cheeks.
The kind that are barely contained and about to spill-out into endless episodes of non-stop, hearty gales of laughter.
Oh, a deep, heart-felt laugh is so good for your soul.
And so good for your future.
What a refreshing way to look at things in the future.
To laugh, rather than fear.
To smile, rather than worry.
To rejoice, rather than dread.
When you're clothed with the strength and dignity that God offers...you can do this. You can laugh without fear of the future.
With love & laughter,
The Velvet Lime Girls

Birdhouse Thoughts
We have a fancy birdhouse in our backyard … a gift to me from my husband, James. It’s refreshing to look at this time of year when the landscape is barren, cold and a bit dreary … to think ahead of the little birds who will in a few short months discover this little “mansion” of a birdhouse and call it home. It’s a beautiful home for a bird, much more extravagant than a mere straw, stick or mud house … and it’s just waiting for them … all prepared and ready for their enjoyment.
It makes me think of the good plans God has ahead for those who love Him. He actually talks about this and says, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
So, the fancy birdhouse is a little seed thought of what is ahead for the birds and all of us in 2011. Be expectant about the plans and places God has already prepared for you this year … and don’t forget to enjoy them when you get there.
