And squeeze out the very last bit of a long weekend.

144. Continued opportunities to speak truth into lives, into the life of a stranger and into the lives of family loved ones. And the boldness HE is giving me to do it.

145. Builder is home a bit early again, time for read aloud, looking into more orphan ministry, future hopes as well as extra playtime with the sweet children.

146. The paintbox that God uses, to color the days. His work is beyond the word beautiful.

147. Hope. Answers in the unexpected places.

148. Strong health, strength to do the work, to enjoy the play, to soak up the rest.

149. Another day to learn to do right, to seek Holy.

150. Bubbly laughter, happy barks, a pack of dogs who claim this family.

151. Finding a church body to join, to take part in the Journey together.

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

May your weekend be refreshing and full of cheer.  A cheerful heart is good medicine, Proverbs 17:22

If present relationships are not strong, we are not laying a good foundation for the future.  Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends by Sarah, Stephen and Grace Mally (Chapter Three)

These words by Jasmine…

She does him good, not harm, all the days of her life.  Proverbs 31:12   Pondering how I can teach and encourage my precious daughters to begin now, to each do her future beloved, and her God, good, not harm, ALL the days of her life? 

Have you ever noticed that God weaves strands of a message in various colors in our lives as He seeks to get our attention?  Right now it seems to be prepare for the future by sowing seeds of goodness and faithfulness in our relationships now…to gain a more eternal, less immediate focus.

The furs were lovely to touch!

Yes, this had counted for some “school” hours.  We had a little lunch…

138. Relationship building, God’s work for me. To let to build and invest in relationships. So thankful to know He will lead in this.

139. Daughters who long to bless, who desire to honor and obey.

140. A long hard hike, and we did it! Strength to finish well, even when we feel spent.

This yard was full of components…whittled down to just a few!

135. Sisters encouraging and learning the art of knit and crochet together.

136. Grace, like rain, that falls even before one looks full into Truth. The rivers of that grace that can be seen throughout the past, when one looks back, washing, carrying, rushing to those places where the ONE can be seen and heard.

137. The opportunity to get to know another young woman, soon to be off to college. The hope to sow seeds, or water seeds already sown, or simply be one of the encouragers along the way. What joy.  How grateful for opportunities.

…God makes the tarnished His temples — and that He doesn’t move out.

Nehemiah 3:12…Next to him Shallum the son of Hallohesh,(S) ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, repaired, he and his daughters.
