The present. The present is actually a very nice place, with a baby still snug and safe inside me, some beautiful sunny September days and family and friends to enjoy it all with.
Here is where I am trying to stay.
The future is rather scary and it actually makes me very upset when I think about it. And really, it makes sense because God’s grace and peace aren’t in the future yet… they are right here, right now guarding my heart and my mind. And so here is where I will stay! (Or at least try my best)
The warm weather that we had last week brought about another bloom on my hibiscus, such a nice September gift. I love flowers…
The kids were still enjoying the pool last week, un-deterred by the cool water. (Jason and I actually went for a crazy quick dip last night even though it was only 72 degrees…. brrrrr…)
And we also had another butterfly hatch…
Now I’ll also be honest and confess that the present is also full of kids complaining they have to go to school and we’re already back into scrambling to get out the door in the morning so we don’t miss the bus – even though I was sure this year would be different.
It’s also got a house that needs to be de-cluttered and laundry that never seems to be caught up and an endless to-do list.
But these things are just a part of life and I like this life… and I kinda wish I could stay in this present forever!
