Week's end with thanks

Dutch humming to himself while he plays.
Singing in the car.
Heidi doing “Bible ‘tudy” next to me in bed.
The way his shaggy hair squirts over his ears.
Examining bugs.
Little grubby hands, dirt under tiny fingernails.
The Community Garden, planted!
Sunshine every day.
That every day contains just enough time for it all.
Letting the rest of it go.
$100 air-conditioner in our bedroom window. Worth its weight in gold!
Oregon Women of the Word conference this weekend. Believing God will meet us powerfully! (Prayers, please!)
The Bible study year almost complete.
Looking forward to summer.
Bunches of bananas.
Running through fields with kids.
Building a “teepee” out of tree branches. Hours of fun.
Processing my “madness” here and so glad to process it with you!
Epiphanies and breakthroughs.
White sheets waving on the clothesline.
The feeling of clean.
All four of us healthy … finally. So grateful!
Leaning into my man.
His smell.
Snuggling under her covers.
Her stinky-sweaty just-woke-up-from-a-nap smell… LOVE it!
Kissing her open, laughing mouth.
Getting some time to myself.
Boundaries.
Learning to say no.
Still loving saying yes.
A warm bath.
Sleep.
That it doesn’t depend on us.
His voice.
His love.
His presence.
HIM!
