I composed this song with my toddler, James, 23 months, on a little jaunt outside the house. It’s a simple ditty about a simple idea: “It’s Good to Get Outside in Spring.” I think, in these strange times, the simple things are worth singing about. And even as we practice “social distancing,” there’s nothing bad, but a lot good about getting outside, breathing fresh air, and communing with nature.
Your turn: what’s something simple yet good in your life right now? Please share with us in the comments below.
I am a Lutheran Deaconess living and serving a rural part of Texas. I love to teach, preach, write, and inspire people with my creativity. I write about lots of things, but I hover around topics of faith, church, and theology. I'm married to a Lutheran pastor and together we have two children who are fourteen years apart. My hobbies include ukulele and mixed media art.

I whistled more yesterday than any other day I remember. Caught up on projects, working on a tough jigsaw puzzle, filled with joy!
God is good!

I love this answer! These activities remind me of the snow days of my childhood. 🙂
