dear caleb, you are a brave fisherman and an excellent boat rider. You looked fabulous in your life jacket with your freckly face and copper colored hair.
dear geese swimming in the water,
I have watched you for years
in my parents back yard
and chased you from the apples
but seeing you in the bay
reminds me of how beautiful you are.
dear brennan at the park,
you are amazing.
It looks like you can fly.
dear grace sitting in the flowers,
sometimes I wish I could just bottle time
and remember
this sweet summer where you just sit in the flowers
and savor and enjoy life.
Love you, sweet one.

Am here praying!
Psalms 27:1, 4-5 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?…One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
