Isn't this what it means to be alive? To wake and struggle with sin? To long for order and beauty and to find ourselves disappointed unless we look to Him? I can give thanks in the mess, in the struggle, in the disappointment because we are alive and He is sovereign and His grace is enough.
85. Trim that needs painting; we live here
86. Answered, unexpected prayer for opportunity
87. Laughter with friends
88. Marshmallow in hair, sticky faces after roasting mallows
89. R on a bike, stick in hand, happily eating four black marshmallows from the end
90. Mud on the floor; we have been outside!
91. Popcorn on the grass; another picnic
92. Yellow forsythia blooming gayly
93. O spontaneously quoting William Wordsworth's Daffodils
94. Fun of playing worship songs
95. Garage sale give aways for L
96. T sleeping with his brown truck clutched to his chest
97. Pile of pancakes, disappearing withing minutes
98. R reading ravenously, finishing his first chapter books
99. Fresh smell of shelves in L's closet
100. Park and picnic with friends

Lovely words of encouragement! I really like number 85...that's what I need to keep telling myself..."we LIVE here.":) What rich blessings God has bestowed on you and your family.
Love what you shared. Thank you!
