Bits and Pieces That Delight {January} ⋆ A Delightful Glow

I like lists. I like fun stuff. I like beauty. I like delight. I like books. I like quotes. I like stickers.
I have several blogs or newsletters I enjoy reading which consist of lists similar to this. I’m bringing my own for any of you who, like me, love browsing this type of thing. I’d love it if you’d shout-out a few of your right-now favorites bringing delight to your January. 🙂

Love this adorable sticker.
Coffee + Enneagram = Yes, please for me!

And Bakers Gonna Bake. All the love.

I loved reading this piece from Sean of the South.

Also this sticker! Etsy has the best fun stuff.

I’d like a super soft and cozy new robe. I’ve been browsing a bit and saw a few suggestions in Instagram stories. Do you have a favorite robe or brand? I have my eye on this one, but still musing and it may end up as a wishlist item for Christmas 2022. 🙂

Look how cute these Terra Cotta Candle Pots are on my friend Lisa’s blog.

Love this practice of reflection.

So good….thoughts about Embracing Your Inner Donkey.

GRATITUDE LIST

making lattes….my good farmer man gifted me with an espresso machine and I’m absolutely loving it. I’ve thought about one before, but I wasn’t really sure if I thought I would like it. Now I know. I DO. I like it very much. I wouldn’t have bought it on my own and I’m grateful he did.
cozy wood furnace
walls of home
God’s unwavering faithfulness
coffee + conversation
stickers
beeswax evergreen candles from my niece
Kleenex
boots

I’m really, really loving this prayer journal from Hosanna Revival.
A few lines a day…..and set up for five years. Go through it once, then begin again with the added bonus of reading your prayers from the previous year. I also loved the letter in the beginning. Absolutely no pressure. They say if you fall behind don’t feel compelled to “catch up” but pick it up and continue on at your current day. No guilt if some days end up blank.

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction ~ Eugene Peterson

Waymaker by Ann Voskamp
You’re Always Enough and More Than I Hoped For by Emily Ley

“The stories Jesus tells are part of the story Jesus is, and the other way round. And the story Jesus is part of the story you and I are because Jesus has become so much a part of the world’s story that it is impossible to imagine how any of our stories would have turned out without him, even the stories of people who don’t believe in him or even know who he is or care about knowing.”
~ Frederick Buechner

Tranquility comes after turmoil.
Faith battles through the fear.
Assurance displaces anxiety.
Praise fends off perplexities.
Abiding overcomes angst.
Depending dispels doubt.
Praying curtails pressures.
The Word wards off worry.
Singing silences stress.
Delight shows us the shine of new day.

It Reminds Me.

Storms don’t stay forever.
