It was the last Sunday night of the summer. We had two cars parked at my parents' house for Sunday dinner because Danilo had gotten called in to the hospital during church and met us there later. Little girl rode home with her dad and little boy rode home with me. I was glad I had little boy, because he would pay less attention to me on the way home than his sister would, and I could do what my heart was longing to do.
Pray.
Heavenly Father, as summer comes to a close, I thank You for a beautiful summer.
I thank You for family and holidays and barbecues, for dinners on the back deck.
I thank You for sprinklers and water balloons and popsicles and not worrying so much about bedtime.
I thank You for little girl learning how to ride a bike and jump in the deep end.
Thank You for Bible Camp and friends of other faiths, thank You for Tennessee and the friends who live there and for country music.
I thank You for gardening and for flowers that bloom and for girls camp and campfires and camp songs and for meaningful relationships at church.
I thank You for summer morning walks and for high fitness.
I thank You for my marriage, for a loving husband, for precious children, for the love of parents, sisters, grandparents, in-laws, to be an aunt.
I thank You for the feeling of feeling alive again.
I thank You for your Son and for His life and gospel. I'm thankful to know You love me and You know me.
I'm grateful to be crying happy tears. I am grateful for all the sad tears I have cried because of who I am because of them.
I am grateful to know You have been there for it all.
