You can tell a lot about a family by their fridge, don't you think?
We're not entirely tidy or organized, but we're full of activity, joy, and love.
Wouldn't trade this crazy life for anything....not even a perfectly clean house.
I've been struggling to blog from my phone because the photo quality is so lousy!
A photo sooc on my iPhone:
I'm sitting here watching my girls play "daycare"--which is interesting considering neither of them have ever been in daycare themselves :-) Apparently, they believe that it's all about the pillows...roughly 53 pillows. Ha!
For sisters.
For my folks.
For my little family.
For pie.
But most of all, for the blessing of fresh starts and knowing that the ones I love are in Him.
I did a recent shoot for my favorite senior in high school, Abby. Here's a peek:
Thomas is cracking me up this morning! We were sitting at the table while I sipped coffee, read my devotional, and prayed. It's a precious time to me each morning -- sitting there with my hot cup of coffee warming my hands and my Jesus warming my heart.
This morning, Thomas joined me because he was setting a puzzle at the table. I was fascinated to watch him -- I had no idea he was so good at setting a puzzle of that size! He finished it, all by his big boy self, and we high-fived and hugged to celebrate.
"Thomas! You did it! And you did that big puzzle all by yourself! How'd you get so smart?"
"Mama, you know!"
"I do? How?"
"Jesus put some smart stuff in me!"
Well of course!
And then, not 5 minutes later, Thomas came to the table to ask me to join him in the other room to see something he wanted to show me.
I admit, I was a little frustrated because he kept interrupting what was supposed to be my quiet time.
"I'll come see in a few minutes, buddy. I'm enjoying my time with Jesus right now."
"Mama! You're silly! Come now!"
"Why am I silly? No, I'm not coming now. I'll come see in a few minutes."
"No (with a grin), you come now. Jesus is with you everywhere, so you come now. You bring Jesus with you!"
I busted up laughing! I guess I can stop wondering if what we're teaching this little man of God is sinking in!
What a great way to spend my time with the Lord....seeing Him reflected in my little boy :-)
Today, I'm just at a near loss for words.
Mighty
Awesome
Wonderful
I look out my window as I eat my breakfast. The neighbor's trees glow orange in the sun and the breeze sends those little flickers of light floating to the ground. Life is so beautiful. So fragile. So short.
My life is nothing more than those leaves. I sit and sip my coffee....enjoying the presence of my Lord.
He is everything. He is the beginning. He is the end. He is my everything in between. It is by His power and grace that I can do all things....including open my eyes and feel the breath fill my life for one more day. He is......stunning.
And I am....
well, I am nothing.
And I'm blissfully happy in this place of being nothing outside of Him.
How can being nothing feel so full and abundant? Only in Him who is everything.
I pray that this day, this moment, this and every thought and breath is as beautiful to Him as those glowing fall leaves floating on the breeze. May this little one of His bring joy to Him.....beauty to His throne room...fullness to His heart.
