Amy dusky light- memories of summer, sitting pool side every evening while kids swam and I watched the beautiful sky as it changed colors as the sun was setting. a different masterpiece every night. surprising reflections- (still thinking) lovely shadow- kind of reaching at this one, today I peaked in on the girls and they were reading on their beds. I hope they will love reading as I am beginning to love it. so glad they are shadowing me but at a much earlier age.
Dusky light - It was getting dark as I left work tonight. I noticed the lights on the new children's hospital. It made me thankful that we have such a wonderful hospital that is close if ever needed, but that also has helped so many families and friends through some very tough times.
Surprising reflections - I learned today that some friends from our past are going though a divorce. My heart is broken for them and I've been thinking about so many friends that we have spent time with who are no longer together. Reflecting on how thankful I am for my marriage and how I could never imagine many of these marriages being destroyed.
Lovely shadows - Remembering the lovely shadows that the lights on our Christmas tree reflected. I love sitting in the den with only the tree on and feeling peaceful in the shadows.
Sandi- Dusky light... Early morning sunrise filtering through my French door.
Surprising reflections...I spent time reflecting on the leadership of Compassion International's CEO Wess Stafford today. He is one of my spiritual heroes. I am sad to see him retiring from Compassion, but grateful for his consistent, faithful leadership. His obedience to God's leading in his life has changed the lives of millions of children around the world.
Lovely shadows... The memory of playing the shadow game with Gabe as we entered Walmart yesterday. He loves to step on my shadow to tag me. His laugh is contagious.
reading ya'lls post made me cry this morning. not sure if it is because I miss each of you or if it is because I realize just how blessed I am to have crossed your path and become friends with you. thankful for this connection through our blessings and a blog as a way to feel close and not let our friendship fade because of distance.
I was just thinking the same thing. I miss our coffee dates and I love that this lets me in on a small glimpse of the graces that the Lord brings to our lives each day. I also love that as I read your responses, I can hear your voices saying them. Makes you guys feel closer. :) I treasure y'all's friendships.
Surprising reflections - seeing my girl mirror so many of my traits when there were years we felt so very different. God is good to have given us common ground - like loving nature and watching a cardinal yesterday am. Dusky light - Elijah with his night vision goggles at bedtime totally cracked me up and melted my heart as he wanted to "read" His Bible till he fell asleep. Lovely shadows - this stained glass is a beautiful reminder of some pretty hard stuff in life right now, filtered through colors and trials I'm not always crazy about, but i am thankful to be able to see glimpses of His light despite it all.

surprising reflections- you can learn to be a mom, it is not an inheritable trait
DeleteDusky light - marveling at the sunlight through the clouds this morning on the way to school
ReplyDeleteSurprising reflections - my "unwashed" hair look wasn't too shabby today. I even went out in public without doing anything to it.
Lovely shadow - trying to rest in the shadow of His wing while during a time of what feels like silence

ReplyDeleteIt is a little like sitting on the couch having coffee for a few minutes, isn't it? :)
DeleteI like your reflection on motherhood. Truth.
