The last few days, the kids and I have been focusing on life-giving activities to find joy in the heaviness that can come with life. We’ve made lemonade from our lemon tree, grain-free waffles, cut our roses and kumquats to place around the house, planted seeds, read books in the garden, and sat and watched the birds that have been searching for twigs in anticipation of their baby birds. So much joy God has for us in the every day, if only we would find it. I really needed to soak some of that in this week, how about you?
