I recently occupied my thoughts on the idea of making memories. I tend to associate memory making with pleasant events. Vacation, first steps, special visits with friends, anniversary celebrations, nights at the baseball field. And then there's the everyday sweet memories of morning kisses, freckled-faced smiles, delight in food, play outside, maybe sleeping in! Joe and I try to be intentional about making memories; some with plans while others are spontaneous. Not all memories are pleasant or planned, though. Anyone reading this can attest to that. Sickness, week at the hospital, more sickness, uncertainties, remodel delays, strained muscles
and ER trips are some of the events that were added to our plate this season. All circumstances and situations that the sovereign Lord ordains are for his glory and our good. While many may be difficult to encounter, these events are used to remind us of our need for the Savior. We are in need of his grace. We are in need of his wisdom. We are in need of remembering that our hope is not in this present time or our present circumstance.
Our sweet girl spent a week in the hospital. Tests and medication. More to come.
I love her goofy ways.
