you know what i love?

i love that the Lord knows my weeks. He knows when they're going to be busy and stuffed full to the brim. He knows that i would totally benefit from dinner invitations and prepared meals. a weeks worth. i love that He knows how and when to bless me.

i love that i have to "call" the computer to blog first before the hubby. i love that he is thinking in terms of blogging when we're out. he's been warped by the addictive powers. i love this new connection we have.

i love that we have been enjoying country walks. peaceful strolls and wagon rides. i love the way the sun outlines the fluffy clouds, creating the illusion that heaven is just on the other side. i love the creativity of my King.

i love the interaction between two little girls that call each other sister. i love how they share handfuls of fishy crackers and sippy cups full of apple juice. i love how jessa scoots miley around on her ride-along car and the squeals of excitement that escape one happy little girl. i love tickled toes and baby giggles. i love my girls.

i love the support of family. that i can ask any questions and not feel belittled. small. i love that i am heard. uplifted. i love that i can depend on a group of loved ones and be comforted with encouragement. i love my family.

i love that the girls and i got home safely last night. i love the fellowship we shared while at grammy and papa's. i love the laughter given around an applebee's table, meeting new members of a joined family. i love the anticipation of traipsing around italy. and frolicking through france. i love the chase through the grass that a game of tag creates. the squeals and giggles of being caught. i love the way the wind makes a kite dance across the beautiful blue. the same freedom that dances in jessa's eyes as she holds the reigns. i love a quiet evening at home just being a family. i love days like today.
