When considering what to name my blog,
I thought of things I’d like to evoke
regarding my life. I wanted to indicate that
I appreciate a certain rhythm to life. Living
in the country, my family had to change
some of our habits. I think for the better.
We are now members of a small
community, where literally everybody
knows your 0name. There’s a sense of
belonging. You know your pharmacist
and his family, ou know your grocer, your
mailman/ woman-they are your neighbors-they are your friends.
Then I recalled a word that I read a long time ago in the Bible that makes
me smile. I think it also suggests a feeling that I want to portray. That word is ‘delightsome’.
The word delightsome is found in Malachi 3:12, “And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
” Instantly, I became enchanted and enamored with that word. I enjoy the
sound of the word.
Delightsome is derived from the Hebrew word chephets which means delight, pleasure, desire, longing, the good pleasure, that in which one takes delight. Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines delightsome as, “very pleasing; delightful”. Chephets occurs 38 times in the Bible translated as delight, desireth, desire, pleasure, willingly and purpose.
These words are ones that I would like to describe my home life. I hope to
purpose in my life to enjoy each day given to me, to create a loving and a welcoming home for my family and friends. I would like to purpose our life
to be delightful and pleasant. Another part of my blog is to celebrate the
rhythms of life. Not so much the scheduled rhythms like Spring and Fall
cleaning, but the pace of life. The slower pace of life where you appreciate moments and take them as they come. Read More About Kathy HERE
