And Kelli? Guilty. How many times have I mused over this very issue? I wonder if it is true for all of us writerly types? Sometimes we need to set down the pen, set down the camera and live the thing, for Pete’s sake 🙂

i think i would be done with soccer after an incident like that, too. ugh. no, my kids are still little enough that i can play with them [safely], but i know this will not always be the way it is. thank you for reading and engaging here, friend.

If we all lived that way, what a world we would live in!

if they see me with eyes of grace at the end of the day, then perhaps God and i have succeeded at something. thanks for your encouragement, Mom. love you.

May you be blessed with the wonder of His Presence even in the wonder of theirs!

thanks, Beth, for your kind words.
and yes, that predictability thing gets me over and over. but it’s a *learning* to walk by faith and here’s to trusting Him to meet me among the lilies.
so glad you stopped by, friend.
