BEAUTIFUL

This is - BEAUTIFUL....

A homemade pillowcase given to me today, by a BEAUTIFUL friend. She made it perfectly beautiful, just for me. She knows my heart, she knows my style, and she knows my "color".

The pillowcase was given as a reminder to me that she is praying for me - continuously. As I lay down at night, and there is chaos in my head, I can find peace in remembering she is praying - for me. She is praying for the children and familes I interact with. She is praying for the children, around the world, that she knows my heart is drawn to.

She is part of the body of Christ - just like these children. She is serving Him, daily.

AND THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Not So Scary Halloween

Halloween is supposed to be the scary, spooky celebration of the year. Our family just doesn't do scary, spooky. But...we DO DO FUN! And, fun it was!

The weather was beautiful. The costumes were adorable. The candy was good. And the cousins were here! It was a perfectly FUN Halloween Day!

The animals of the household spent some animal bonding time. Maybe it is because one of the animals is feeding the other some candy???

Here is the crew: a hip-hop policeman, a scary little lion, a Hawkeye football player, and of course a princess.

This is a classic picture what life ACTUALLY looks like!

The big cousins did pumpkins together.

Maybe I was wrong....there was a LITTLE bit of scary amongst us - YIKES!
