Oh! And!

We have grass! I told the dude it would grow! Come gaze fondly at it with me if you wish. I don't have anything yummy for you to eat like most of my family would, but we can gaze out the kitchen window together. Besides isn't a feast for the eyes enough?

Joy

This is perhaps one of my favorite times of year. I love the colors, I love the decorations. But mostly I love... The way everyone seems to take on a new outlook. People are nicer. And even better than that.... People actually talk about Jesus. What a huge blessing that is. What an incredible gift his life is to us. How grateful I am for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the joy that it brings to our lives.
