Believing: Day 22

That we would live a little differently if we viewed life through the eyes of a child.

The last few days have truly been magical as the skies opened and dropped a foot and a half of snow onto us, and we have played together, laughed together, worked together and just enjoyed being together. Brian, always looking for reasons to drive his truck, picked up our friends, Drew & Emily, and brought them over for a brunch yesterday. They were on their way to Drew’s parents’ and ended up not being able to make the rest of the trip home, so we had their unexpected and delightful stay overnight last night. It has been a weekend of cuddling, reading books, watching movies, yummy foods, wrapping presents, watching snow fall through frosty panes, snow jumping and late night talks with old friends. It was perfect!

Believing: Day 21

In 2 feet of snow? Seriously? Soooo excited…

Snowfall always bring this hymn to my mind.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing is His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.

King of Kings, Yet born of Mary, As of old earth He stood,
Lord of Lords, In human vesture, In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful. His own self for heavenly food.

Believing: Day 19

In restoration (part 2).

Two years ago… in the throes of chemo.

One year ago… starting regrowth.

Today, it’s this, and my oldest son said to me, “Mommy, I’m glad you’re hair is long again like it used to be. It’s nice to have something back normal.”
