ReplyDeleteand you are so beautiful for mentoring ... I imagine this helps you in ways you never thought as well.
i wish the photo was taken now - it's last year's. still a few weeks to go for the wild iris...but it's such a hopeful shot!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you get so much out of being the mentor - it is so cool that we get so blessed when we invest in others.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful list of blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of dirt, too!
ReplyDeleteHmm, the smell of dirt, I like that one. I'll have to think about that when our snow melts. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, grateful for the smell of dirt -- we did a lot of "dirt smelling" as we prepared our garden for planting this weekend. Spring has sprung...and flowers for your girls will soon be in bloom.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Kendal.
Loved the poem and the list...simple things, important things, all we would miss if they weren't available! Blessings on your day...
ReplyDeleteThe red of a maple tree... so beautiful! I do enjoy a good trip to target. :) Yay for visiting nanas!! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love getting to see your heart through your words. Your girl is very lucky to have you as her mentor. I think she will make it, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of dirt, too! It just is so inviting, and makes you want to see things grow. I miss maple trees. We don't see too many here in Florida and they are not like the good old maples from up north. Sounds like spring is finally coming for you, right? Thanks for posting your list today. It's always good to read it. And that girl of yours???? Sounds like the best gift of all!
ReplyDeleteshe will and I love the smell of dirt too!
ReplyDeletexo
I am grateful, so very grateful, for a husband who loves me through all seasons as well.
ReplyDelete128, me too, me too.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing I love that we can all come together and share our thankfulness of what GOD is doing in our lifes
ReplyDeletei love popping in here and filling up on hope and beautiful evidence of His grace. you're a blessing, kendal.
ReplyDeleteLove that texting was your last item! haha I agree! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have both been very blessed to have each other to lean on and learn from. PS: I love Tall Skim Latte's as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful words on mentoring.
ReplyDeletefondly,

Just getting to know you and your site. Love poetry, wish more people would write this way. Very lovely, the repetition and slow emergence of the little girl "who will make it". Beautiful in simplicity. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought your #119 was "sneakers" and it made me smile. Either way - sneakers or seekers - I'm with you on that one!
ReplyDeleteI love how I 'get' you, your personality through your poetry and what it is for Him to take you and love you and make you who you are...yes, she will make it...i pray for her whenever you share about her:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so glad that she will make it.
