yesterday's clouds

Yesterday evening I spent a whole lot of time looking up. True and Brave were playing games in the yard, Soul was next to me in her little rocker, and Ben was working late. The evening was cool and was quite reminiscent of Autumn. As I could hear the happy laughter of my girls playing nearby, I was enjoying looking up at the vast sky and being reminded of how small I am in comparison to God and his wondrous creation.

It was an almost perfect evening... if only Ben didn't have to work.

p.s. so... what do you think of my black and white umbrella? i love it!

  6. I was thinking the same thing when I saw these clouds. They make me want to spread a blanket under a tree and watch the sky. How do you get Soul to sit still for so long? Audrey would be in the dirt before I could roll over.

  7. "...and the clouds are the dust beneath His feet." Nahum 1:3

    Beautiful blue and white skies! Praise God for simple, treasured moments to reflect on Him and enjoy His blessings.

  9. Nice umbrella! And great thoughts of the Lord Almighty.

    SouleMama is way cool, yeah I've known of her, and her books, but a couple of months ago I put it together that it was her who wrote the book(s) (I'm bad with names :(. Do you know her personally? haha

    How was Renegade? Hope you had fun, I was too tired to go and Saturday didn't work out for me. Maybe next time. When's the next one?

  11. For some reason I was sure you wouldn't pick the "simple" umbrella... What you described is my dream activity! Hope I get to do that when I have kids! :)
