More Than Froth and Bubble


There was a very intriguing package waiting for me when I arrived home after my week of cooking at camp....
           



My girls ohhhhhed and ahhhhhhhed with me, as we admired it's contents.
 such a special treat from a sweet, young blogger.

                                      


I love connections and connecting...my favorite aspect of blogging is this,
so to be able to have a tangible reminder in my hands of connections, and how important they are, makes me so happy....
                     thank-you again Megan for the give-away.You are so kind.




although there was a lot to catch up on after a week away, we made time to get out on the water on a near by lake...



my philosophy; 
work will wait....children grow up too quick.
so make the most of moments....before they are gone, 
and you wonder where they went.



filling a barrel with bubbles yesterday...(a game for the kids at our family reunion)

                          as I watched I thought of the quote...

            "Life is mostly froth and bubble,two things stand like stone,
            Kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own".(Adam Lindsay Gordon.)
                                                                                                                                 

   I'm thankful for a life that is rich, and not just froth and bubble.
for relationships that are meaningful but also teach me grace and mercy.

I'm thankful for the unknown, because I know the Hand who holds it will never stop holding me.

So I pause here on the threshold of a new week....breathe in peace...
                                                            and slowly exhale.
