    All in favor of Lea making a bedside book with her beautiful photography, words of inspiration and memoir, and a cookbook with beautiful imagery…say “I”! 😁❤️

    There is nothing wrong with living a slower, quieter, more beautiful life in the chaotic world we live. 🌻. Thank you for your sweet videos.

    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

      We are encouraged to have childlike faith. Can’t just do it. Need to practice childlike enjoyment also. Sounds like you’re on the right track 😉

    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 moved me. I sat there with a sudden rush of unexpected feelings and was overwhelmed with tears. I cried so hard. Not expected, but what my souls needed. Thank you for blessing me with your beautiful video and for the words within. ❤️

    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 💛

    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.

  • @carlabyley7983
    @carlabyley7983 2 ปีที่แล้ว +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 🙏.

    I romanticize my morning cup of coffee by taking the time to slowly pour in the cream and watch as it cascades like a beautiful satin white ribbon into the cup. I never get tired of doing that.

    Everyone should fall in love with their life. It doesn't mean it's perfect or that hardships never fall, but that you are content with everyday things. I for one am a lover of mundane, for that's where the magic lies.

    Beautiful you are in a good place. I live in Ozarks hills alone at 64. I love the quiet presence of God with me daily no tv or distractions after a long hard life of 40 yrs on nursing floor with 17yrs on dairy. Your choice is a good one

  • @janmoore6340
    @janmoore6340 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    God bless you for sharing beautiful "snapshots" from your daily life. It does remind me of how generous our Creator God is with His children. That is not romanticizing....that is reality. I pray for those that don't know the difference.

  • @BarbaraTechel
    @BarbaraTechel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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. ❤

    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 ปีที่แล้ว

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! It is so easy to get caught up in all the ugliness and darkness in the world but Beauty and Light and Truth are so much greater!
