Finding God in the quiet, the ordinary, and the beautifully unnoticed… There is a kind of joy that does not clamor for attention. It does not arrive loudly or demand to be seen. It comes softly, like first light easing through the trees, like the hush of dawn before the world fully stirs, like the…
