With each passing day I am more and more thankful. No, it’s not living some fantasy over here. It’s tough work and real life. In that mix of exhaustion, quarantine-like social distancing until the baby comes (since I am a “high risk” in this COVID world), and long discipleship conversations initiated by you budding and curious young people, I still find myself thankful to drink this cup of investment and not pass it on.
I’m thankful for hearing you play carefree in the yard, catching glimpses of your joy from kitchen sink dishwashing sessions.
I’m thankful to see you investing in a little sister you cannot wait to hold and have prayed over a chance to hold for years.
Thankful to see your willingness to be adventurous and step outside of your previous inflexibilities.
Thankful to see you love deeply without asking for anything in return.
Yep, it’s been a lot of us just doing normal life lately…
And it makes me so thankful
That I get to do slower life with you.
Thank you, Monica, for this beautiful glimpse into your daily life. What a privilege to see these lives well lived in their natural habitat!
Monica, I love seeing the pictures of the girls engaged in so many different activities and making preparations for their new little sister! I felt as if I was in the house and yard with them! We are so excited for you all and pray you stay well as the time gets closer to your delivery! We love you all!
