It's been ages since I've written much for a blog post, and all I'm going to do now is count some of the blessings and glories of this life of mine. God is, of course, genuinely good all of the time, but some seasons of your life you just *notice* that goodness more.
I'm thankful these days for:
Maria's graduation from college
the way grass feels under your bare feet
how stained green those feet can get
mowing the lawn in straight, even rows
little brothers who still like to give hugs and even initiate them
cold Sangria in a bell of a glass
a child's pencil cursive on thin blue lines
paychecks that are twice as much as you expect them to be
a head of white hair with a tinge of red left in it
seeing Melissa and Steven with two children in their row at church
cut-offs and the feel of the sun on skin
hot crisp burritos fresh from blackened tinfoil and a hot campfire
the sun sinking behind you, watching the shadow of a mountain grow
hugs from good friends as they say goodbye
seeing pictures on facebook of friends I haven't seen in a couple of years
frozen yogurt
midnight ice cream
even the coughs that result from laughter
dirt roads and headlights
the weight of the backpack's straps on your shoulders
the sound of water
sunglasses
Spotify
