"Faith when your faith tank is on empty."
Oh Christina, you're such an angel. These posts give me hope no one else can. God will bless you for such generous words. The photography is, like always, beautiful. And warm~
i love the differences and the commonalities we all have in the the things that make our hearts sing. all of our lists bring smiles to our faces and joy to our hearts. this is a lovely idea thanks Christina

So in love with your words and your soul.

It's wonderful how lists like these remind us of just how many simple things make our lives beautiful! Clicked over from Char's blog, enjoyed browsing.
You are a beautiful woman. Thank you for starting my Monday with such heartfelt words.
"remembering our wedding vows "..thinking similar myself as hubby & I very soon celebrate 10 happy years together... "Faith when your faith tank is on empty." My tanks's not quite empty as such, but having some difficult days just now.. So your magical post nourishes my dented spirits and weary body. I resonate with so much here... Thank you for this truly wonderful event, Christina :o) Happy week, my friend ((HUGS))

i must have read your list a dozen times since last night.
i tried 3 times to get on this morning. your blog is a busy place. and a inspiring place.
your flowers should grace the covers of the most beautiful magazines. maybe romantic homes. it's true.
XOXO
When you said "the simple things that make my soul sing" I also thought that. By the end of making my list I wanted to sing. Thanks for the encouragement to notice the simple things and have our soul sing.
Love it all! I made pumpkin bread yesterday too...is there anything better on a fall day??? Peace to you my friend!
YOU are simply radiant. And a gift to this world.
xo, Graciel
Your simple things warmed me up! God bless you!
beautiful as always... my list is up too finally :)
I knew I was going to fall in love with your list...it was a blissful fall into a soft, warm embrace. ♥
I had a fit of giggles when I read your list and saw that we had both been dreaming of red slippers. I love the way kindred spirits are joined across the miles.
Christina, beautiful post, such inspiration....
x..x
Your list of simple things says so much about the wonderful, amazing woman you are. Gorgeous! So pleased to participate in your "simple things" Monday. xoxox
My dear lovely C: I've been in a bad funk for days (and haven't looked at the computer all weekend). Your "sun-dipped moments" have shaken me up, in a good way. You help ME fill up the faith tank -- best of loving, positive blog-sisters.
Beautiful stuff.
Thank you for sharing--thank you for the reminder. I needed to hear that others are trying to hold onto faith when the tank is empty--always a process. And you are getting mighty fierce w/ capturing the drops of sunlight--wow, that last one of the single flower. You're amazing as ever Christina.
so many wonderful things.
Beautiful Christina!
Without the simple~things the big picture wouldn't be so lovely!

Hello Christina,
What a beautiful post...
The photos are lovely!
It is so important to remember and be thankful for the simple things.
I hope to play along next time.
Don't ask me what I was thinking yesterday not commenting on this post. I just went back and reread it...I have to tell you..."having faith when your faith tank is on empty" that hit me. And food on the table and heat for your home. Seriously...the things we forget to appreciate sometimes. Thanks for sharing and thanks, too, for putting this together again. You're amazing.
What a truly beautiful post! I feel like I know you now after reading your list! So nice to meet you - I'll visit you often.
Love your simple things, Christina! And I am glad you enjoyed my post about bread.
