Mercy and the Moment

These are a few of my favorite things:

4:30am.

A spring morning that is 10 degrees colder than normal.

The moon half-full or better anchored in a clear, starlit sky.

My tattered pink Life is Good comfy sweatshirt jacket. (No commas--all those words belong together).

Home-brewed Starbucks in my green Fiestaware mug.

Do they come together in a single moment very often? No.

Perhaps that is why the moment reminds me to give profound thanks that God knows my heart so well that He would nudge me.

The nudge? A moth flying around my already busy-at-the-computer hands. I caught it, decided to give it mercy, and walked to the door to restore its freedom.

Mine was restored instead...in the moment.

These are a few of my favorite things.
