some days...when doors keep closing and the world feels heavy and confusing......you just stop.
you bring your tired bored boys home from house hunting and give them a hose and point them to the dirt and say, go.
play. live. get dirty. ENJOY.
and you sit in the sun with your love and eat chips and salsa and ice cold cokes and just watch them play and laugh.
you live. you be still. and you soak up the sun and laugh.
you ENJOY each other and what He HAS already given you.
and when you've taught your kids to stop sometimes. amidst the crazy and the stress and the heartache and the fear...and they see you relax and unwind and laugh.
and find and DO what's most important...
then just watch....as they might just follow suit.
that's grace.

We are practically having the same day yesterday, friend. I think the Lord allows us to come to the very edge of "all of it," and the discouragement...that we might ultimately find no hope in it at all, and look to what he's already given us (like you said!) as praise and gladness. Love you!
Love it! Sometimes it's easy to overlook what He's "already" given us, as you just said! :)
