Thankful for a sweet day filled with special people, treats, and traditions! 

10.30.23

Sharing books with my friends is ALWAYS a JOY!!

Today's selections really tickled their funny bones, 

and their laughter sure is sweet music to my ears!!

10.29.23

Imperfect people, living life side by side, loving each other as best we can and

pointing each other to The ONE who loves us more than we can even imagine!

Today was one for the books!!

"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."

The LORD has done great things for us,

and we are filled with joy."

Psalm 126:2-3

👉 Happy 5th Birthday, Trinity Grace!! 👈

Perfect day for Picnicking and Playing at the Park

So thankful for time to talk with sweet Rachael

and the great arm workout pushing swings today!!

❤ My best good gifts ❤

And I got to see them together in their front yard for two whole minutes...

and they were sad to see one of them leave again...

'cause they like each other too...

Then I got to drive one to the airport 

and hear lots of really great tales from tour and how the LORD is GOOD!

And then it was my turn for the goodbye hug...

10.25.23

So grateful for an evening spent with sisters in Christ sitting side by side in my living room,

remembering our retreat and speaking words of encouragement to one another.

And when I confessed a particularly ugly heart struggle I'm having, 

Miranda shared these verses about praise and integrity with me.

Good, good Words for such a time as this.

Oh, and then...as an added good gift for the day...

I got to be the one to get sleepy Baby Rusty snuggles right before they headed home!! ♡

Thank you, LORD for vibrant colorful leaves, a bright blue sky, and the glow of the October sunshine. 

"The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of His understanding.

and strength to the powerless."
