Sparkly Gems–The Places Where God’s Goodness Shines

Grow Faith

Sparkly Gems - God's Goodness - TreasuredNestBe challenged to look for sparkly gems–the places where God’s Goodness Shines.

Now I have to admit sometimes it’s easy peasy to find your sparkles (where God’s Goodness shines) but other times…not so much.

“What is your latest sparkle? Where did you see God show up in a big (or little) way… a “Sparkle”?

I asked this once at a small group bible study I hosted. For some of my gals they could list off the top of their head at least 5 or 6 sparkly gems–no problem.

For others in my group the minute I asked the question I heard grumbles and groans–no sparkles here.

If I asked you the question right now about last week, which one are you?

Many sparkles?

or

No sparkles here?

Don’t give up. Perhaps you don’t see how God is showing up now but if you take a moment you will!

Having trouble seeing the sparkles? Ask God to show you and search for the little things.

An interesting thing happened that night I asked the question in our group. As other gals began to share their sparkles, the ones in the group that grumbled and groaned that they didn’t have any could now pick out a few sparkly gems of their own.

I think in that moment, they stopped looking at the darkness in the things going on in their life and looked for God in all thing..the little things…and all of sudden their life had a bit more shine.

Take your eyes off the the darkness and focus on the shine.  

You are a treasure!

    I find sparkles every morning when I step out of the house into the garden and greenhouse. My flowers, vegetables, the birds in the yard, the morning cool….

      Dr. Amrita – it is the recognizing of the small and big things that really makes a different. I can feel your joy.

    For many years I’ve mentally listed 5 things that were either good in my day or that I’m grateful for. Most times they aren’t anything big. Acknowledgement helps remind you to look past the ‘ickies’ or looking at life like you are stuck in the same-old, same-old patterns.

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here.

I'm Sheryl, Chief Encourager here at Treasured Nest.

To me our home is our treasured nest. I'm a bit of word nerd so when you look up those two words it fits perfectly.

Treasure - to regard or treat as precious

Nest - a retreat, a resting place; home

I understand that life can get messy and chaotic which makes it hard to see the treasure we have before us.

I also know from my own personal struggles that seeing the treasure in ourselves can be well...challenging!!

So Welcome to Treasured Nest...a place where grace abounds and a place with resources to help make home life simpler and less chaotic. A place to build faith to help you gain confidence to see just what a treasure you are.

A Gift for You!
