Major Snow Day at home with the Pratts
Yes that's a face down body print. No it is not mine. Yes **insert junior high boy's name here** is still alive. I think he earned some man card points for the video.
Afternoon tasty warmup between lessons.
Long, cold, icy nights full of memories everywhere - beautiful, stinging, memories.
Sometimes these days are still hard despite all the beauty surrounding me. I don't find yet that one cancels the other out. Joy and pain are sometimes in the same breath. And both are from God's good hand. "The Lord gives and Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." I'm praying often that I can faithfully and honestly pray that declaration of worship in every moment and during every task, with every joy and through each tear. Even though these days carry difficult hours, they are rich too - full of opportunities to savor my God as the Dearest of Treasures, the Faithful One, the Just Judge, my Eternal Father and the Giver of all good gifts.
