Love’s new definition

The other team had color-coordinated everything... and classy coolers full of ridiculously healthy snacks. Our team at least had matching red jerseys (kind of), juice boxes and homemade cookies... plus a lot of spunk. The other team had cute, little girl cheerleaders. Our team had two scrappy boys who decided to cheer-lead for their brother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love that my sons stick up for each other.  They'd …

Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Inside

Every morning, on the inside of me, I start full of hope... full of thanks... full of promises to talk to God when I think I'm slipping. And by the time dinner rolls around my heart feels cold as snow. I forgot Him.  I remembered the worries instead... created my own pain. But the good …

There were mountains of laundry to do... and groceries to buy... and messages to return. Thru each day …

Going, going, gone….

I'm leaving my sunny deck for a few days... Visiting a son I've been missing for far too long... Seeing a state I've never been to before... There will be pictures to take, people to meet and good food to eat.  And... "I will let love be my guide"...Ephesians 5:2

Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Today

In case company comes... In case the rain stays away... In case the sun sticks around... ...time to wash the deck chairs. Apparently, at some point in our family history, for lack of a tree to carve... my youngest son immortalized himself in this chair. Amazing what you find when you scrub the dirt away. …
