Well, folks...I'm excited to say that I actually remembered to do another Things I Love post! Things have been a little different around the house this week, with Brian home from work on his vacation. Schedules go out the door to make way for family time, and of course, catching up on our work load. So, that's what makes this post even more exciting...I was able to take the time to do it! Here we go...
Joining the Angels: I tear up just thinking about it. There are certain songs that just seem to be divinely set apart; ones that you can't help but worship to, even if you aren't "ready" for it. My personal favorite right now is "Revelation Song". I believe that the reason this one is so powerful, is because it is actually echoing the chorus that is and will eternally be sung in heaven. Insert goosebumps here.
That seems to be an appropriate place to end my "loves" this week. Excuse the sentimentality and looking ahead. Some days are harder to find these little happy things than others, but even in the down times it's important to remember our call to always rejoice in the Lord. He certainly gives us a lot to glorify Him for, and if that's not the point of it all, I don't know what is.
Little Mama: This girl amazes me. She's so stinking little, and she is already one of the most nurturing people I know. She's constantly loving on her baby dolls, stuffed animals, real animals, pictures of friends (or strangers), and anyone or anything that will let her get close enough for a hug. One of my favorite things is to listen to her playing from a distance. You can hear her tiny quiet voice say things like..."....awwwwww...ok baby...ok. night night...love you. Milk, baby? You wanna bite?...yuuummmmmyyy..." and so on. Such a sweety. I wonder if she's seen the memo that she's supposed to be a baby still.
First Cup of Coffee: It's sad that I have to distinguish this, as I do drink several cups of coffee daily, but this first cup is particularly enjoyable. The other cups of coffee I drink are generally sipped while I'm working on a design, or reading a book with Ella. While, I do enjoy those things, there is something so warm and satisfying about being snuggled up in our comfy bed, warm sunlight creeping quietly through the window, with my Bible and current devotional laid across the bedspread, drinking that piping hot cup of joe. What makes this even better is that I'm blessed to have the opportunity to take my time drinking coffee whilst deepening and delighting in my relationship with my Creator. Coffee with Jesus...it doesn't get any better than that.
