Gods unboxable ways

Very grateful for

  1. God’s unboxable ways
  2. A morning of quiet
  3. Time to catch up on email
  4. And time to sort laundry into loads of pigment and not
  5. The discernment to stop at the task of filing and deciding instead to take a walk
  6. a walk along the still lake with Ruby
  7. And finally making peace with the builders, buyers, and owners of the too big houses pushed onto the banks of the lake
  8. Remembering to fill the bird bath with water and remembering the time Amelia filled it with green Kool-Aid to match the grass. And how the sugar left from the evaporated Kool-Aid was an all summer critter invitation

There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine! Abraham Kuyper

  • Jessica, our go-to-gal who is always so helpful.

  • Maya Angelou:  “I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine…before she realizes she is reading.”
