December 3

We’re rolling right along with our kindness advent.  Yesterday we put handmade bookmarks in random books at the library.  This was so easy and so fun.  The kids loved it.  We will definitely be doing this one again.

Let’s discuss Amon in the background…on the preschool computers…luckily yesterday there were no kids already on them for him to bully and harass with his whispering in their ears…(my turn).

Today we delivered flowers.  Each kiddo picked someone and then I chose a special someone as well for Amon and I to deliver to.  Pretty flowers could surely make the world go round.

And tomorrow we are sharing Sonic happy hour!

Amon is sick today.  I am super wiped out and really tired.  Josh has been working nights.  I don’t know if it’s just because I am so tired and a bit run down, but while driving this morning I started crying thinking about the goodness of God.  When I think about it, it truly blows my mind.  Here I am…this flawed, hot-mess of a sinner who deserves nothing and yet He offers me everything.  I need Him and He wants me just as I am.  I can bring my tired, run down, sinful self…just like that…no fixing myself up beforehand…and come to Him just like I am.  And rest in Him.  Breathe easier in Him.  Feel a peace only He can give.  Find reassurance in Him when the days are long and hard and questionable.  I want to remember this every day, especially on those days that truly threaten to drown us right down to the deep.  There is this hope in Christ only He extends…this grace and love and mercy and compassion and His ability and desire to carry us through those rough waters…to command the raging seas to be still.  He is so mighty and good.  Praying today for hearts who need this hope in Jesus.  Praying we all know He wants us just as we are.

See you tomorrow.  Hope your day is great.  Hope you spread some kindness with those around you.

Happy Wednesday.
