boots in the rain

admittedly, many things have been weighing on my brain all at once lately. the ebbs and flows of life recently have felt more like a storm...and without realizing it, i have been sea sick. have you ever been so overwhelmed with, just, stuff, that all of a sudden you can't breathe? 

sometimes, Jesus has a way of cheering us up when we need it most...even when we don't know we need it.

so last sunday, it rained! and S has been waiting and waiting to use the pirate boots he got for his birthday in march...and oh, puddles, you had no idea what was coming your way! he woke up, got dressed and ran downstairs, ready for splashing!

off we went to sunday school...and on the way we stopped to splash in puddles. S has been told that he can only splash in puddles if he has his boots on...so he jumped in every. single. puddle. he. found. most were duds, but we did find one good one.

why did this cheer me up so much?

because we giggled our butts off, that's why!

"to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance..." (ecc. 3:1, 4)

sometimes i need to just stop and giggle with my son. i need to remember to pause and enjoy the little things way more often than i do.

S really is the best thing to happen to me. ever. seriously. i can't even believe how much love fills my heart because of that little guy...

may you find something today that makes you giggle and fills your heart with love!
