I’m sitting in those last minutes.
The last minutes before my home erupts in frantic excitement, anticipation, and crazy work. Today’s the first day of our annual trip to the lake. The lake — where I’ve gone since I was eight. Where it’s more about memories then agendas.
And right now, my family is still sleeping.
I know that once the first one wakes it will be like dominoes falling — one racing to tell another — who will hear the others — who will run around excited and want to share. I love that one of my fondest childhood memories is now one of my childrens’ favorite memories. There’s beauty in that bond.
So, I might not be around as much the next week. I’ll be resting, and laughing, and playing games, and fishing, and swimming, and eating, and being joyful. This trip? My fave.
Have a fabulous Fourth of July, my blogging friends!

Just rest a bit domino number one — and while you’re at it — help me carry some suitcases out to the truck. 😉

Remember on this day that freedom isn’t free. So many have given so much, and some have given all. Always here praying for you!
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Continuing to pray!
Psalms 28:1-2 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Psalms 28:6-7 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
