showering, dressing, putting on make up
giving my darling little girl a bath
frying bacon for breakfast
cleaning, vacuuming, doing dishes
reading books
spending time with special teenagers
Dear husband gone most of the week, standing in his place caring for house and family
tying on an apron, baking a cake
making a big, healthy tossed salad
13 well-behaved, good children home with me today
hair up in a ponytail, sneakers on
sunshine
watching them walk off together for a hike in the woods
chatting with two loving friends at the door
getting a son ready for a sleep over
singing hymns of praise to Jesus with my teenage daughter
hugs, kisses, smiles, laughter, teasing, listening
…….but all with a sense of deep sadness, and thinking to myself……
“there is a place in hell for self-proclaimed ‘religious’ people who destroy, kill, fill with fear, and/or harm precious innocent people who belong to the very God they say they serve”
“of all the bad men, religious bad men are the worse” CS Lewis
Good to be Home 
Beautifully written and well said. It’s a sad, sad day.
Yes. I agree. Each day is a gift.

Praying for peace in the midst of this storm.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” -John 14:27
A beautiful post for such a sad day.
Such a sad day for the World ….I come from a tiny English island just off of the North West coast of France (I live in Alabama, USA now) and all my ancestors are French ..although we are English on the island now …and it breaks my heart that a place so close to my heart is in such sadness and such danger ….God Bless this World ….hold on to your faith as it will conquer all evil ….thanks for this lovely post Shanda XX
