Better When We're Together

We're in the midst of our full month of birthday festivities!
Three of the five of us have birthdays in a month's time which equates to a whole lotta fun and celebration.
Add to that fall, my most favorite time of year, and we've got an all-out party on our hands!

I'm learning not to take these moments for granted.
With two sons in high school and the blocks on our family calendar getting fuller by the day, I'm learning to enjoy the here and now.
I'm not lamenting the passing of yesterday.
I'm not dreading the arrival of tomorrow
(ok, so I'm still working on that one).
I'm seeking, prayerfully, to invest the here and now.
Each day, each moment,
is a gift from my all-wise, loving God.
And I'm grateful.

Here are a few recent moments I'm treasuring in my heart:
