one hour

my husband in the pulpit
speaking of wycliffe and treasure
my girl, the one i mentor,
beside me on the pew
my son, jack,
sharing a hymnal with me
karrie's baby girl, addie,
sleeping on my lap
son, hank, across town
playing lead guitar
at a church plant
and
i am so full
i am close to undone
for where your treasure
is
there your heart
will be
also

and for these i am thankful-

343. rain that kept us home from soccer for a day
344. fun for my students at a block party
345. husband who volunteered to help at the block party
346. hot peppers and new recipes
347. messy kitchen
348. a new writing opportunity for me

  1. Awe, we missed a soccer game too...but only because we went the wrong way! =)

  2. Ok, so I don't think I knew that Karrie's baby was named Addie (LOVE that name. Would have a third baby and name her Addie in a split second!) and sometimes I forget you two know each other in real-life. Fun.

  5. you have great treasures this week ... and I didn't know you were a pastor's wife - I'm fond of those, my mother is one. (also looking forward to reading your words at the new teacher's site!)

  12. You expressed what I felt like Sunday: Husband leading worship
    1 daughter on the organ
    1 daughter leading the children's chorus
    3 grands quoting Scripture and singing a go-along song
    I was overwhelmed. Then they all gathered around our table for dinner. a day filled with joy -- just like I read in your writing. What would we do without the blessing of Sabbath?

    I'm praying God will equally bless your week.

  16. What a wonderful post!

    When one of my loved ones leads worship, it's almost more than my heart can hold. There have been times that I've had to avert my eyes simply to hold myself together. Other times, I just let the thankful tears flow. :)
