"The fairest blossom"
ReplyDeleteWow, poetry in three words, that was just beautiful.
I love how God provides for us, rejoicing with your daughter over her suitcase. He spared me running out of gas while driving through Kansas this week. Literally in the middle of nowhere with two kids and a dying cell phone battery. Glory be to GOD!!!
You are so blessed!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite on your list: "sisters giggling together".
How I love to hear my daughters laughing together, it just warms my heart.
(Now I am craving some crepes).
Blessings to you as you make your home!
XOXOXO
We are so blessed, aren't we? Loved reading your gratitude list and thinking I need to start one - not that I'm having trouble being grateful but because it would be good to have it written to reflect and remember. The flowers are gorgeous but not as beautiful as your girls!

I like the way you prioritized your post, beginning with scripture.
