Grateful Mom


A grateful mom.

For sun-kissed cheeks




on my three healthy chicks




For the
courage
of my two oldest
first-time playing
piano
and
guitar
at church.




For a weekend with my mom.




And instead of the nap




that my flesh was craving




a late afternoon of fishing




on a perfect Mother's Day.



My camera
helps me find
the beauty



in the littlest things



and fills my heart


with gratitude.

  3. This is a reminder that I need going into tomorrow: to be grateful for the little things. Sometimes those are actually the most important.

  4. Adorable children. Your pictures are so brilliant and the one with the reflected tree -- awesome!

    So exciting to read of children serving Jesus in His house. Starting young gives them a taste of the joy received when offering their talents back to Him.

    Hope your day is full of sunshine!
