Fun with the Fam

Two whole fun-filled, sleep deprived, pool swimmin', lucky charm eatin', berry pickin', hair cuttin', shop til you drop weeks can be summed up in these pics....which are worth a thousand words, or so they say...

What a blast!

I can almost smell the lilac in this picture...can't you? I find myself in a season of breathing deeply--savoring the brief moments I have of rest, His rest, and strangely refreshed in the midst of endless need. I'm so grateful for His love, and strength, without which life would just end. Grateful for friends and family who lend a helping hand. And this verse is a lifeline today:

"Don't be afraid," he said, "for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!"

Daniel 10:19

I am encouraged. And I find His peace every time I look for it.

Tears can be cleansing. And weariness leads us to His rest.
