of trees and leaves so green.
The wonders of a nature hike. Where they think of Narnia and elvish things.
The water is clean and more splashing of white cools us off. Reflections on the rocks above.
Creatures to see and observe.
It's free and a gift. Time together can't be taken away from the heart.
To laugh and appreciate the growing of hearts.
To play, to give. In time, in thought, in interest, in heart, in life.
Because as I do to the least of these,
As I do unto you,
an audience of One
The flowers grow when I'm not watching.
We take our walking feet and go to where the creek runs free. tripping and rolling over the stones.
We swim. We splash. We watch for turtles and snakes and crayfish.
Rocks and sticks are in abundant supply to play and pound and throw.
Skip and plunk go the rocks.
There is even a fashionable way to wear your hair in the summer heat.
Exercise, fresh air and sunshine.
And berries. Not enough for pie or cobbler or crisp or jam. Just enough to stain our fingers and mouth among the lot of them.
And we ask to go back day after day to do it all over again.
Hannah's bouquet:
Newly painted and carpeted rooms. Beds made by the little ones.
The teens have begun voice lessons with a music teacher, and the little guys are deeply involved in... play. I'm resting in the knowing that God will provide for our needs. We have big decisions in our upcoming future. So we are praying and trusting His wisdom will guide our footsteps. If you think of us, we'd appreciate the prayers too.
