The many things I miss

I didn't realize how many things I miss like...
#11-27

a dragonflies fragile wings
the strength in a thunderstorm
her sweet smile
the shine in my ring
cushions on the couch
coffee with cream
library cards
and simple dreams
muffins made from their little hands
the early morning hug from his little brown body
her eagerness to help
and his willingness to work yet not want
carpet shampoo
their imaginations
hot chocolate mustaches
kind words from a stranger
the smile of a friends heart

God don't let me miss anymore! I am so grateful for even the smallest of gifts you have shown to me. I love this life and can't wait to see whats next!

How the Word Lives

The Word lives...
When I own it, When I decide to use it
When I look around me and see you,
When I sit quietly and listen...
to the maker of the universe
Listen to how much He loves me,
Listen to the words He has for me today

... be still and know that I am God

... test me on this...I will open the
windows of Heaven for you and pour out
all the blessings you need.

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
Isaiah 43:10
