A SNOWY TRAIL – #flashfictionmagic

March 2, 2021 by Sheri

“I’m pretty sure Ibena is that way.” Lux waved a hand toward the unblemished snow to their right. His tousled blond locks glowed even more angelically when dusted with snow, and Autumn’s fingers twitched with an urge to rip them off his head. “We’re not going to Ibena, Lux,” she said carefully. Sweetly, even. His […]

A LOST SHOE – #flashfictionmagic

February 19, 2021 by Sheri

Something hard and pointed slammed Garret’s head into the wheel. His speeder dipped and swerved as he caught himself on the gear shift. A bird? A smear of blood came away on his hand when he touched the back of his head. He craned up, eyes widening as a sleek grey speeder blocked the sun […]

R E D #flashfictionmagic

December 2, 2020 by Sheri

🥀🥀🥀 Her lips tightened with disgust. “I bring blood. Carnage. I am the essence of rage.” She spun toward the battlefield, scarlet skirts snapping to follow. “You’re forgetting.” The girl in gold tilted her head. “What do you know? Everything gleams that comes from you.” The girl smiled, her hair catching the sun. “We have […]

R E S T – #flashfictionmagic

September 24, 2020 by Sheri

R E S T/ R E S T L E S S // 🍁🍁🍁 Tension had leaked down into her left shoulder, a hurricane of pain radiating down her arm, all the way to her hip until she felt like Jacob after a chill and damp wrestle. Had she wrestled her thoughts, her attempts at […]

I know, it looks like I’ve only read fantasy thi I know, it looks like I’ve only read fantasy this year. This is not true, but they do make such lovely pictures. 🤩 Fantasy, especially YA fantasy, is the genre of my heart, and since my bookshelf space is limited, I tend to buy more of them. Did I mention they’re pretty?😅

🌿☀️🌿 My best tip for finding magic every 🌿☀️🌿
My best tip for finding magic everywhere?
Go out and catch a few children.
Release them in your backyard.
Let them rummage in your cupboards and tiptoe into your bedroom with their treasures.
In the morning you’ll smell daffodils everywhere.

What is a day for? I found myself pondering this q What is a day for?
I found myself pondering this question as I meditated on Scripture this morning. I love to achieve things, and sometimes I get lost in the maze of caring for little ones while wanting to get something—anything—done. I’m living a dream life, saving money every day (by not using daycare😅). Half the time it feels too good to be true, the other half it is just too real and never seems to end.
But this morning I was seeking silence before God and it occurred to me that what I was doing was the point of my days. I am here to love Him and be loved, and show my children how to love Him and be loved. And I can do that to better effect because of the many tiny tasks they need me to do for them. They’ll see His love in how I prepare their food, teach songs, finally make the Playdough they’ve been begging for.
It’s the task of my life, and when these children are moved away, it will remain my task.
How lovely is that?
What are ways you let God show you He loves you?
