| Our neighbors place viewed from down in the field of mustard.. |
We enjoyed a sunny Sunday afternoon last week strolling with family across the neighbors mustard field, with their permission of course, and down the irrigation ditch to dip our toes and do a little exploring. Going for nature walks are on the top of every member of the family's list of most enjoyable things to do all together....
 |
| Sporting a freshly picked weed crown.... |
 |
| A freshly picked bouquet of horsetail.... |
 |
| Carving a rock... |
 |
| Running down the irrigation ditch... |
 |
| Enjoying the breeze on her skin.... |
 |
| Dangling our legs and laughing with Daddy.... |
Little did we know that less than a week later we would be still laughing with Daddy, but this time with his foot up on ice after a flying leap and block in volleyball... avulsion fracture is the word.
 |
| The night it happened... |
 |
| 3 days later... |
Feet and ankles are precious..."How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News... or bring home the paycheck...." I know we shouldn't be happy that our Daddy can't go to work but we are. What can I say? We love him and are thoroughly enjoying spending time with him at home: bringing him food, ice, books, videos, and hopefully a lot of laughs.
We could choose to stress at the "Storm" and waste our precious time or simply enjoy our little ones and one another on this "surprise vacation." It's really all in how one looks at life. And, no, it's not just positive thinking... or escaping reality.
Reality can be grim, but God's truth and glory are powerful. Mercy and grace intermingle. Faith, hope, and love outshines, outlives, and is irrepressible. Try to dampen it and it's glory spreads around the dark edges.
God has never not taken care of us before and He will not stop now. We can laugh at the future knowing He is fully in control....how refreshing and how exciting all at the same time. You know, it was kind of getting slow around here.....
