Monday Mourning
The Monday after a vacation is always the most painful. I certainly felt the despair as I dragged myself from the warm recesses of my nest this morning. It just seemed so dark and cold and lonely and did I say dark?
Continuing the list of ways in which the Father blesses, as we move into the waiting season of Advent.
#1062 cold clear nights
#1063 cold clear mornings
#1064 lots of leftovers!
#1065 my brother playing left hand and me playing right hand - Christmas carols from the hymnal
#1066 all those piano lessons
#1067 boys in the yard with a football
#1068 football weather!
#1069 lots of blankets all over the house from lots of people sleeping here!
#1070 cozying up with visiting dogs
#1071 oldest son looking so handsome for church (and without a fight; that was the best part)
#1072 slippers and jammies
#1073 praying to remind myself that I'm not an orphan and that God is THERE

We call that "re-entry" around my house. Sometimes it's bumpy. Hooray for joy realized from all those piano lessons!
ReplyDeletei'm mourning too. more like sulking. :)
ReplyDeleteNancy, yes, we call it re-entry as well. It is especially hard during the school year!
ReplyDeleteTab, I can understand your mourning...sounds like a great time together!
Love the pictures - I'd hate to leave that cozy nest on a cold morning, too.
