Surprises

I can't believe I've only blogged once this month! Life has been way too busy this summer. I'm ready for it to calm down, but I'm not sure it will...in the mean time, I've been blessed with some surprises this last week. Some are for me to ponder while others are just sweet!

For my biggest surprise, Shane requested, and has now received weekends off! I had a husband by my side on Sunday during worship! We snuck out during Sunday school for a little brunch date (Whataburger, lol!). I'm so glad!

I was also surprised by another guest at church-my youngest brother! He's become involved with an outreach of a local church-a Karate program and that's made him interested in church. Praise the Lord! He's coming back next Sunday! He's invited our oldest girls to join him at Karate, even paying for it and taking care of getting them there and back!

Another sweet surprise-as I walked past our couch and saw our shoes lined up (I let the girls keep one pair by the door) and saw little BB's tiny shoes-and mourned the loss of my children-just that they'll be children only so long before they're all grown up. It makes me sad...and I feel pressure to do it right-get the little things in there-all the hugging and nurturing and special loving that is only allowed in childhood. She turned 4 today, and even though she tears up at the idea of "gettin' bigger" she is getting bigger.

Let's keep treasuring the little things-our husbands in church, the Lord at work in our families, and our babies' childhoods!

We are surrounded by blessings everywhere. My youngest will be 4 in about 6 weeks. It all goes by to fast.
