Gifts...

- the cool breeze through the window
- kids sleeping past 1:30! and actually past 6:30 this morning!
- green, green, green
- soft kleenex
- cereal
- a Savior who is sweeter- to whom these things don't compare...
- family who welcome us back with much love
- our friends we miss
- birds' songs
- the kids' excitement at airplanes in the sky, "our car", the library!, lucky charms, a little kiddy pool outside
- fresh fresh air
- a sweet church home to return to
- the smell of grass
- baseball game fun tonight
- year-round yummy fruit!
- a sister who reminds me to enjoy these gifts- but also reminds me of the sweetness and privilege of living overseas
- the Lord has established his throne in heaven and his kingdom rules over all
