upon a sunday (reunion)

knapsack of treasures
open on the floorboard
handwoven cloth
and
a soccer jersey
marble chess pieces
and
a wooden horse
all smelling of another world
my husband
my missionary husband
is home from guatemala

 

and for these i am also thankful:

220. visiting an old friend with a new friend
221. john 10:27 - 29
222. nana-cooked welcome-home meals
223. hank's songs. yes. he writes them.
224. jack looking over his dad's shoulder at pictures
225. reading glasses. my first pair. glad they exist.

ann for 1000 gifts

    Kendal, I am SO enjoying your writing...you truly have a gift from God. I, too, have a teenage son so I could definitely relate to Friday's post. Thanks for sharing your gift!

    I knew after I read the first few lines that you were going to say your husband was home. . .love how you take us with you right where you are, in your moment.

    Know what it's like to have a husband back after having him gone so far off.... Big sigh of relief. Congrats.
    Love Guatemala... Been there a few times.
    Going to meander through your blog to learn more.
