All the little people.
When did the day come that all of our excitement originates with the little ones in our life? Ours (being the cutest and the smartest, of course) my neice and nephew, our friend’s… they just brighten our world. Yesterday was Luke’s third birthday! (He loves the “happy birthday” song and would like for it to be his birthday EVERY day!) Today, Foster Sears was born. I have so many friends that are expecting (Allison, Jana, Lisa, another Alison, Sarah, Angie, Kim, Stephanie, Kelly, and Jennifer, to name a few) and what a blessing! I pray safety for all of those that are growing and for their mommies and for their futures. And a fun thought; is Caleb’s future wife in the world yet? Is she growing in her mommy yet? A special blessing to you, little one!

A rainy afternoon
I wrote this back in high school, December 12, 1996.
“As a child, knew him well
Well? What is “well?” I knew him.
At least once a year, I entered his presence,
At least once a year I knew him.
Family ties bind our love, but why?
All I’ve learned, all I’ve ever been taught as wrong
is all he ever was.
Still yet, I love him.
And now,
pain,
sorrow,
anguish,
hurt.
Death seems all too close,
too familiar.
His body is disentigrating
his spirit….
Is it fear in his eyes? Or is it hate?
Can he see clearly? Does he want to?
Does he know my love? Does he know Your love?
What?!!
I just don’t see.
Is is my responsibility?
Yes, partly, yes.
Words won’t help. Or will they?
I wouldn’t know.
I haven’t tried.
Death is closer yet.
Time is shorter still.
Hope is stronger.
Is hope stronger? Maybe.
I will not be sorry.
The time is at hand
It is my responsibility.
I will try.
He will see.
He will know.
Love will overcome him.
Hate will be no more.
Softer, warmer, I pray.
If not, my love will not grow weaker;
but my sorrow…
my sorrow…
Tears.
Dry my eyes, my heart, my soul.
Time will pass
Death will be his.
I’m sorry…. I tried.”
Wow, those words seem so strong. I almost hate to admit to them, though they were real. And now I have to ask myself if I do have any regrets. It is so much easier to pass off talking with someone about God to someone else, especially when it deals with someone in our own family. You can live a life that you hope is an example but I often wonder if it looks appealing or self-righteous. I just hope that my uncle never thought that my lack of relationship with him had anything to do with his lifestyle or his health condition. Only our lack of proximity and time together. I do love him. At this time in his life, I hope for him these things…
That he doesn’t feel alone.
That he feels no pain.
That he feels safe and loved and ADORED by our heavenly father.
That he has no regrets when it comes to his relationship with his family.
God, I pray those things for him.

Psalm 40:19
“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad in all of our days.”
This verse is posted on the cabinet above my coffee maker and I read it every morning. I laugh when I ask myself, “was the writer talking about God, or coffee?” It’s funny. Think about it. I’m sure God gets a kick out of it too. Either way, it’s a great way to start a day.

First week back
This has been my first week back at work. I’m now a part-timer, which is fabulous. Having one more day at home has made such a difference!
