"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms."
Psalm 95:2
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms."
Psalm 95:2
The Creator's creativity and the beauty of His design

changing seasons, cooler temperatures, open windows, gentle breezes
0051
the soothing sound of raindrops falling right outside my window
0052
a simple game of hide and seek... and the joy of being found
0053
schoolwork taken outside... no shirts or shoes required :)
0054
old friends, new friends... friends
0055
itty-bitty fingers and the places they explore
0056
a sleeping baby and a tummy feeling well once more
0057
our church service via the internet as I stayed home to mend
0058
his love of markers and the determination required to use every single one before his project is complete
0059
a phone call from a special friend, just to say hello
0060
"Oh, Mom! Don't stop there. Just one more chapter... pleeeeaaaase!"
0061
an "I love you, Mommy," completely out of the blue
0062
an offer to help, a gentle word spoken, a strong-boy hug, a tender smile
0063
warm blankets, clean dishes, fuzzy socks, favorite shirts
winter coats, brand new sneakers, market produce, time together
0064
a kind word from a stranger and the opportunity to pay it forward
0065
Four tiny babes who flegded from this home
the endless care of a mother, fully committed to raising her young
and this perfect nest, carefully built by one as she fulfilled her God-given role~

Oh, Heather - I'm loving following your list! These are great pictures and such a sweet list! Thanks for inspiring me this morning! ;)
Your list brought me to tears of joy. There is nothing more uplifting than to see how the Father is blessing everyone.
Heather, what a beautiful and joyful list. I LOVE your website. It is serene, simple and beautiful, even elegant. I look forward to visiting your little corner of the world again.
I spent some of my childhood in NOVA... Vienna (back when the metro didn't go out that far!) and Arlington.
Many blessings to you...

It is like meandering through a garden of everything..thank you
Gorgeous. Those itty bitty hands touching lots of things...don't you just love 'em? Lovely photos, sweet family.
Sweet list and beautiful pictures!
The lists, this one especially, just bring such blessing. For me, with an empty nest these days, so many of the things you write about bring back so many special memories. It is so wise to treasure these moments.
