Weekend Wonder

Psalm 34:1

I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips

My Gratitude List

~ sisterly love

~ lots of yard to delight them

 ~ toothless smiles

~ eyes like the sky, and a heart just as big

~ His little boy face, here to stay.

~ Shin guards found at first garage sale we stopped at, along with a doll cradle for the girls, and jeans and pajamas.......all were on our list.....daily manna testimony.

~ Two- and four-year-old wonder....even at tomatoes they see in their own garden every year

~ The year of the matching pink hats.....they always make me smile
~ Littlest one watching big sister's every move.

A thunderstorm brewing, we had the whole farm to ourselves.

~ Little girls running back and forth between Mommy's and Daddy's berry baskets
~ Beth picking fruit like a champ this year, while last year she was stuck in a stroller.

~ A daddy who spends time teaching and loving his family
~ Kids eager to soak up Daddy's lessons

Raspberry pickin'

~ Green, green, green. I'm not in the desert anymore! 
~ August weather infinitely better than July's.

 ~ Pictures reminding me how fast the years pass.....encouraging me to say thanks for this moment, today.....and live in it.

 ~ Their smiles, telling me thank you for this day...meaning more than the words. 

 ~ Two year olds in Dora nighties, shucking local corn

~ The Lord's earth, blessing us with wonder, joy, peace and flavor.


~ The joy of cooking together.....Momma the cobbler......Daddy the meat and squash.....children the corn and potatoes......the Lord providing the bounty.

~ Sharing the most brilliant rainbow I've ever seen with amazed children, and hearing them give credit to Him. At one point this was a double rainbow. Magnificent way to end a weekend!
