I never grow tired of driving by you.
I love the memories that you hold.
Dear sweet boy of mine,
I think you might look like me
just a bit.
Love you Caleb.
Dear cute caterpillar craft,
I love that my Elijah
made you at co-op class on Thursday.
I think you’ll stay in his memory box.
For sure.
Dear French Toast Recipes on the fridge,
Every time I see you hanging on the fridge
I get very hungry.
I think I need Hannah
or Chloe
or Grace
to make me a gluten-free French Toast.
Dear daughter of mine named Hannah,
thanks for letting me copy your
Dear whatever letters idea for my friday favorites.
And I’m sorry that you need surgery on your ankle
five days before I have surgery.
I love you.
Dear Samuel,
trying to dig out the last fruit snack
you are so sweet and dear and
I love you like crazy.
Dear Lego Toys on the kitchen counter,
I like you when you stay on the counter
and not under my feet.
And I love how you entertain my boys
throughout the day.
Dear Mona Lisa espresso cups,
I’m so glad I bought you years ago
and that you’re my Elijah’s favorite cup to grab.
Dear little boy,
I wonder what you are thinking about.
You blessed me this week
with your laughter, and hugs, and joy.
Dear You and Your Blog Link-up,
I had no idea how wonderful you would be.
Or how blessed I would be seeing pictures of other bloggers with their blogs.
I hope more people join you and document themselves with their blogs.
Dear Maureen from Spell out Loud,
Thank you for making me this necklace
and giving it to me at Relevant.
I love it.
And am blessed by you.
And you all must visit her blog.
Dear Target Halloween Costume Clearance at 70% off,
First, why are you now 70% off and not 75% off?

Or should I say eight year old Jedi?

I linked to your blog through The Homeschool Classroom today. I’m so glad I did. Although I have not faced all of the things you have in life, I related to your words on your “about” page. You wrote:
“Through all of this the Lord has taught me to embrace, to live, joyfully and fully. Now. In this moment. No more waiting for things to get better, no lamenting the time lost, but rather finding joy in everyday.”
Thank you for sharing your life to help others know the Lord.
