remembering this

Wednesday, October 19, 2011  

Lord, help me to be...


innocent, trusting, and sweet


gentle, caring, and strong.


Help me not to forget times like these


when I can wake up and kiss Kade's sweet head


and I'm counting down the weeks until


baby sister comes and changes everything.


I can't wait for that day.


But until then...


Help me to live fully,


and not for myself, but for others.


Help me to see beauty in the small joys


because I have all I will ever need.


Don't let me forget that.


I don't want to forget.


Help me to make that choice every day...


the choice to live for You.


Give me a servant's heart.


Don't let me miss these precious days


that trickle swiftly like grains of sand.


Help me greet each day


with a smile on my face.


Show me how to love.

Wonderful, convicting words.
The photos were amazing, the 1st and 3rd being my favorite. All of them had an amazing amount of the awesomest thing called bokeh in them :)
