My girls hands in mine
Dripping ice-cream cones
Little bare feet
Books piled high waiting to be read
An invitation from a friend
Downy fabric softener
A swim, a shower, pajamas and fresh sheets!
Cinnamon buns bubbling in the oven
Missing my husband while he’s away...kissing him when he comes home
God is so good.
Summer is in full swing. It just began and yet it is almost over! In less than eight weeks school bells will ring and we’ll never get the summer of 2011 back again! So how do we SLOW the days in order to savor them more? Ann Voskamp has some thoughts about that. In her book “One Thousand Gifts”, Ann writes about the beauty in the everyday things we sometimes take for granted. In her quest for the good life, she discovers that gratitude is the key to joy and that never having enough time is something we can change by simply choosing to appreciate every little moment God gives us. This small town farmers wife and mother of six will chase the moon and bring it to you wrapped in a poem so beautiful your heart will sing. Read it, pass it on and enjoy the longest, slowest, most blessed summer ever!
Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Great recommendation!! Such a beautifully written book that has truly opened up my mind to a state of purposeful gratitude.
