Recently, I was in the midst of a flurry with the dishes after lunch …and looked to my left to see this. My world suddenly slowed down. Small, insignificant, “just a little thing” …no. This was a gift. Straight from my Creator.
Stop, Melissa, slow down. Take a deep breath. Live. It was a hesitation …a thread-like moment of decision. Enjoy life–or let it act like an emergency. Live–or rush. Smile or frown.
I grabbed my camera, and began to capture the moment. Sure, the dishes still waited on me with their long-lasting patience, the counters were spotted with water, duties were twiddling their thumbs …
but just for a time. Time enough to live …and take a deep breath.
Thank-you, Lord Jesus for the little bug on the dish scrubber. What a reminder of Your love and care.

I just love your photography and website. I am an old neighbor of Elizabeth Anderson. So refreshing and encouraging to know that there are still such godly young women spreading His gospel through your gifts. May God continue to bless you!
