My favorite time of day...

Each and every school morning my alarm clock goes off at 6:20am. It is really 6:10 am. Is purposefully set my clock 10 minutes fast, mainly so I can take my time getting up, and hit snooze at least once if necessary. I turn off the alarm, let the dog and cat out, then settle in to the recliner and turn on my favorite news station. At 6:30, the boys alarm clocks go off and I look forward to my favorite time of day. The moment they come out. That is because when they do, they are sleepy and warm and snuggly! They anxiously crawl into my lap and snuggle up to get warm and try to wake up. We have about 7 minutes to do this as we wait for the weather forcast discuss appropriate attire for the day, and I get lots of "Mommy I love you so much"'s and I tresure each time I get these moments!

Female Friends

I am truly humbled at the strength that exudes the beauty of my female friends. So many of them have experienced truly amazing medical nightmares either themselves, or in their children I am truly in awe of them. Their heartaches make me a stronger person, and I am grateful for their willingness to share how God has shown his presence in those situations, a loving reminder of how faithful God is.
