prayer-3

—–

A seven year old boy read this aloud today during a book share in my second grade class. He’s an incredible kid— observant, bright, thoughtful. I know what you’re thinking, what I was most certainly thinking, as soon as I heard it. A seven year old picked out that to read to his peers? {He did, yes, and so I embraced it.} It was actually a prayer from a book on WWII {found scratched onto a wall in a German concentration camp}, but it still made me pause and think and remember. Because of today and all that it was, is, will be. We had a small discussion about what happened that morning. It was 5 years before these littles were even born, but I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Just thought I’d place the words here on a page.

Because I’m still remembering, always remembering, in an ever constant hope for those “somedays”.

Every day for the past few weeks I’ve been driving by the changing trees and the fall farm stands on my way to work through Concord, Massachusetts. This week I stopped to admire the pumpkins, and with this quote floating around Pinterest, I couldn’t help but make this little image to recognize the glory of the season.

I’m not big on Halloween, but I am big on beauty and color (especially orange) and there’s plenty of that to take in for the keeping.

Are you up to anything fun this weekend? We’ve got two parties to head out to on Saturday night (so popular, I KNOW!) and I’m super excited for a reason to get together with friends and have a good time.

HAPPY WEEKEND, ALL!

happy christmas, dear friends

I’m signing off for a bit to celebrate the holidays with my family.

I’ll be popping in here and there next week, and am even doing my very first guest post on a friend’s blog, but for now this is a farewell and a note for a very merry holiday.

I have loved this year with you, dear friend.

Thank you for reading, and commenting, and connecting. It means so much to me each and every day.

My cup runneth over with wishes for you on this Christmas. God bless you and your families on this glorious weekend and may the peace and love of the season be with you the whole year through. Joy to the World!
