creating visual reminders of my priorities
seeing how the years fly by
heart flowing with thankfulness-
so precious to me!
(and how I forget in moments of selfishness).
Lord, help me to focus on Your ways...
give me the patience I am so empty of at times-
restore my eyes...

#931 - #948
Spirit-filled as I am lonely (He is sufficient)
patience as followed by eldest daughter
GRACE to love & live life together
Quiet time "rules"
(3 stories if no interruptions)
earplugs to help focus
JOY instead of rush/snap/nag
smile of a child pretending to be asleep
rough-housing
kneading dough
child's dough shapings


fondness makes the heart grow fonder-
missing his scars, crooked pinkie, his smell...
2 snow days in a row!
teaching the appeal process in love
(for help in obedience)
easy stir fry
table tulips in winter
hopeful thaw
(snow days over and back to normalcy)
