Even though the thought was in the back of my mind, I couldn’t seem to find the right word. Last year, finding words was easy for me. I couldn’t even narrow it down to one. This year, however, nothing. A lingering, nagging voice kept saying, find your word. And still, nothing. Until yesterday. It was so clear. It shouted, even. LOVELY. And the word wouldn’t go away. Lovely has grown in proportions you can’t imagine.
From Merriam-Webster, these two definitions leaped out at me:
2. delightful for beauty, harmony, or grace
4. eliciting love by moral or ideal worth
I could fill pages with the thoughts of one day. It will have to wait. I promise it is coming, though. If you’re curious, start with this video (below). And I leave you with this thought:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable
—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
think about such things.
~Philippians 4:8
