Multitude Monday

Like the snowflakes falling, swirling through the sky; thanks to our gracious Lord come swiftly and without apology from a grateful heart...


40. A wonderful time with "Miss Westenhaver-" a sister to me, who has been through a lot in the past few weeks. It's been such a blessing to be around her and laugh and talk- we look forward to your next visit, Michelle! We'll be praying for you!!! (That's Michelle with Gracie-Lou-Who in the pic above)

41. Wooden blocks and trains with tracks all over the living room floor. Towers built as train stations and bridges over the tracks. All of the tripping and looking where we're going is worth it to see Stephen cautiously running his train through a bridge he has made, seeing the look of delight when he safely guides the entire train through.

42. My little Hannah with a fever, being sweet as pie and wanting cuddles from Mommy and James Herriot and Creatures that Defy Evolution and popsicles.

43. Saline spray and bulb syringe for poor little Rebekah's nose.

44. A full, busy life.

45. My husband, for working so hard for everyone in the church all day, every day- and still taking the time to take each one of the girls out for some Daddy-daughter time. They love it (and him!!!!) so much.

46. Hot chocolate, a good book, and Amish popcorn on a cold winter's day.

47. Hearing the girls and Stephen coloring, being kind and sharing their crayons and paper with one another and giving each other compliments on the drawings. Squabbles between them still happen- as they are just as sinful as we are- but they are fewer and farther between as time goes by, and I relish hearing this because it reminds me that my work every day training them is worth it.


48. The bare branches of our maple tree, which soon will be budding with the promise of spring.



49. Hearing that our farmer (who we get our milk and eggs from) is prepping for maple syrup again... can it already have been a year since we visited with them??? Spring really is almost here!
