The joy of the Lord has been so sweet this last week. Yesterday was rainy and cold. I was meeting up with a sweet girl and in our
text conversation I asked her if we could cozy up at a coffee shop. I got there a few minutes early to do some things
on my own. I love a warm beverage, the
bible or a good book, and being wrapped up in a sweater.
The days of Italy came back to me. I didn’t really take my bible and read it
out in public when I was there, except for a few times.
It wasn’t because I didn’t want to talk about it, {which is a great
conversation starter} but because my hands would get too cold while reading!
One of my favorite things to do was to make my own cappuccino
in the apartment and curl up in a down blanket on my bed. I would be in my grey wool knit sweater, and
sweats with 2 pairs of socks covering my feet. My room
was always incredible cold. I claim that
that is the reason I spent so much time in the kitchen!
For a few minutes today I was transported back to Italy.
I love being in Slo, but I miss the places I’ve been. I’ve left a piece of my heart in each
place. I hope that I will have the opportunity
to go back, but for now I am content to enjoy my coffee and time in a little
local coffee shop.
sounds like a delightful time! I love to get bundled up and settle in with a good book, especially the good book :)
