There are some days,
some moments
that are gifts.
Today was one of those.
I brought the kids home from school and Andrew randomly decided to pull weeds, wash dishes and clean windows. I turned on jazz, cleaned the kitchen and put a turkey in the oven. We then ended up spending the evening in the front yard, pulling weeds and listening to jazz pouring out from inside the house. Andrew brought his terrarium out to gather bugs for miles to look at. Miles discovered roly-polys and was poking around the front yard looking for them saying "poly poly."
His perfect tiny voice.
His joy.
The warm sun.
The new life springing forth in the garden.
Andrew's enthusiasm.
My hands in the dirt.
His joy.
The warm sun.
The new life springing forth in the garden.
Andrew's enthusiasm.
My hands in the dirt.
All I could think was
"life is a gift. This is a gift. "
My dad is visiting and he pulled out the grill and made burgers. We watched a documentary about bugs. Miles was fascinated and watched the whole thing.
There is such an amazing diversity of life on earth. Down to the curious world of insects.
Life is amazing.
Some days God doesn't hide behind the clouds. Some days God is right in front of you showing you the amazing beauty in every detail of creation.
And it's an amazing gift.
