bsmiles and sunny days

I had this idea that when I got home from the laundromat I’d turn on some music, start dinner, put the clothes away, and put away  groceries. It seemed sort of romantic, except that I didn’t know what I was going to make for dinner. It was half an hour past dinner time.  And my cabinets were so wrecked that I couldn’t put anything in until we cleaned some stuff out. And by we I mean me. It’s 7:30, and Mose just finished his third bowl of macaroni and said, “ boy this sure did take you a long time to make!” 😂🤣😭👌🏻 Yes. Yes it did.  I still haven’t put the clothes away because my house is such a disaster area that I’m turning circles putting one thing away, distracted by another, stressed over a stupid mess in the living room... I’m not coping with my chaos well today. I haven’t showered. I ate the frosting off of half of a chocolate cake. The whole half. Completely stripped it. Like a boss. And now after I finished off the healthy oatmeal that I added

This photo takes my breath away.  These three stunning beauties bear my mark. They carry my blood.  They are disciples of the life I have designed for them.  Who am I that God in His lofty place  would condescend to grant me the tender mercies  of giving life and sending out so much beauty into the world as these? They have depth and grace and passion for things that only they see. The Lord, my Lord, strong and mighty, lives in them,  and I am left speechless.
