Picking up a little orphan girl full of smiles that loves you even when she’s hardly met you

Homemade birthday cards

Small gatherings of friend old and new, celebrating an up coming wedding

Wildflowers in mason jars



Making homemade pizza

Foraging for greens

Holding a little boy with a cleft palate and tubes in his ears in your arms on a walk after he is too tired to go on after he had his rotted teeth pulled out.

Tears that follow open honesty over deep struggles

Secret May Day deliveries




Cuddling little precious girls while watching a movie

The sweet fellowship of Bible Study with my dear sisters in Christ

The smell of fresh baked bread

Hugs from my older girls



These are the moments from my first week of being 27.


I wouldn’t have missed them for the world.


These are the simple, raw and tangible moments to savor.


Life isn’t perfect; it is full of the good times and the hard time, joy and suffering.


Life is beautiful, life is happening all around us.


It’s cherishing the details that sometimes get overlooked, those simple gestures, a touch…you never know how it may change you or another person.
 


                    Psalm 126

                             A song of Ascents

1 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,

we were like men who dreamed.

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,

our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us,

and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,

like streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears

will reap with songs of joy.

6 He who goes out weeping,

carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.

    Those who sow in tears

    will reap with songs of joy….one of my favourite verses!

    I was 27 when I carried my first baby… I am now almost 57! All your gratitudes are things so familiar with our days now… I congratulate you on a heart set to thanks at your young age… that is such a God gift!
