My wish in this season of Advent?
Collect and affirm stories of triumph, celebration, joy and delight.
Joy and delight are easier to find these days. Grand-parenting seems to come more naturally to me than parenting, a small and flourishing seedling of patience, a God- cultivated gift, grows within me.
precious time
a rainy Tuesday afternoon
cold enough for a hat
skipping the mittens
a busy city street
a tree lot on the corner
tossing the tree
in the back of the jeep
instead of tying it on top
tiny hands helping
drag out the tree skirt
untangle the lights
string the pink beads
put the angel on top
add a few ornaments
sequin tree picks
Seuss-looking bling
clay airplanes, kid-made
one jack-in-the-box
snowmen, santas and stars
Rjw
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
