My good friend recently gave me the book, Simple Abundance; A daybook of comfort and joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. My friend knows that I am not a big reader so she thought I would be able to handle taking the time to read this books short messages each day.
Smart girl, I actually have really enjoyed reading it everyday. I especially loved today's message. It starts with this quote , Knowledge of what you love somehow comes to you; you don't have to read nor analyze nor study. If you love a thing enough knowledge of it seeps into you, with particulars more real than any chart can furnish. - Jessanyn West
We sometimes need to step back and think about what it is that we love to do, why it makes us happy and how do we make it special and then appreciate that. Not waste our time comparing ourselves to others or wishing we had their gift. God has given us all special gifts, its just figuring out what makes yours special. And taking the time to let others know how much we appreciate their special talents!!
I've seen that book a gazillion times, and have never picked it up. But I adore this quote you shared. I think I might have to give the book closer attention. :) Thanks for sharing.
