His gifts

He is faithful to give. I am happy to receive.

~son patting the seat beside himself for me to join

~interlocking fingers

~fruit trees in full bloom

~grapefruit, the color, the taste, the smell when I walk by a big bowl full of them

~fishing on the dock of a pond


~working with the wind instead of against it


~the way daughter's hair smells

~pillow talk--notebooks filled with secret thoughts from family members, hidden under one another's pillows

~first ladybug of the spring

My best friend's name is Angie Vickery. I was just telling her about you, and sharing your blog with her. The first thing she said after seeing this blog : 'She's very creative" =)

I concur =)

Angie, My oh my, you are God-gifted. I love to "see" Him through your eyes. The image of working *with* the wind, instead of against it ... That is sticking with me tonight.

What a great list and a great looking family. Way to go Angie.

Billy Coffey said...

I agree with Jennifer. That image of working with the wind was awesome.

And there's nothing like seeing one of your children pat the seat beside them as an invitation.

Wonderful!
