this really happened


i promise you...this actually happened

it was so sweet, i wish steven spielberg had been here to film it

just the other day, i was laying in bed with my buttercups, readin' stories

i noticed that it had gotten strangely quiet, so i peeked to each side and saw all three of them peacefully snoozing

it was one of those moments in life when you feel like you belong in a movie...because it just couldn't be that perfect unless someone had scripted it


the garbage needed to be taken out
a load of laundry sat waiting to be folded
there were bills to pay and bathrooms to be scrubbed
but i slipped out of bed, took a few pictures and then snuck back in

most of my life these days seems chaotic and hectic and like i'm pulled in 18 directions at once.

but God is so good to afford me these moments when i look around and realize that nothing is perfect, but everything is right

there are toys everywhere, clothes strewn about the floor, dishes piled in the sink and the vacuum hasn't been run in two weeks

but i've got three sisters snuggled into bed and i can smell rain and grass through the open window

and everything is blissfully, wonderfully right

its moments like these when there are no words to tell God just how grateful I am...

How great is Your goodness which You have stored up for those who fear You - Psalm 31:19
