keeping a record of His kindness
- the way my dad saw something (the flag and flagpole at the cabin) that needed fiixing and he did something about it (new flag, reset the pole). he's such an honorable man in so many ways.
- stunning weather. incredible evening skies.
- elf with the eberts!
- lovely - in a plethora of ways - morning at two cedar. amazed by Laura Lea's ability to give and give and give.
- Emma's creative eye - and especially the way she takes pictures
- questions that affirm what the Lord has been doing in my life
- super easy shuttle run to the airport
- restful Sunday - worshipped and took a nap and finished a book and went for a run and shared some meals and watched some football
- a week saturated with rich and meaningful conversations and interactions
- fun times at a favorite park with some of my favorite kids
- sacred time at Victoria's. goodness. God's tender care of us is so tangible sometimes.
- the jump rope from team marquez!!! (such a simple yet SIGNIFICANT reminder of God's presence, his attentiveness to us and his provision)
- long lasting fresh flowers
- "O God, you have made even the necessary act of eating a nurturing comfort and a perpetual delight." - every moment holy
- God's word that is SO APPLICABLE:
- Cracker Barrel lunch (and the leftovers) with yaya and Zoe
- Teen Advisor Christmas Market. I only cried 7 times (kindness and worship music are 2 of the things that make me cry quickest)
- how one small comment kept things from really getting messed up (i had the wrong date for an event that i was helping to line up food and such for....)
- drum line!!! #lifeneedsmoredrumline
- complimentary hot chocolate (and hugs and twirls) with my girl zoe at the previously mentioned market
- the sacred mischievous gleam in the eyes of people who want to anonymously bless others
- "I hear you're the child whisperer." and the uproarious laughter that ensued.
- seeing Eli and Caroline interacting with their friends
- trusting God with my kids and their hearts
- figuring out that all the things i need to create a little gift for a super special sister o' mine are already here
