lazy days

It has been a quiet few days for us, which has been good for our hearts.

It has been warmer, which has brought some much needed time outside.

It has been lighter in load, with trips to the park and a walk after dinner since it was still light outside. While this is strange and different, we think it is a direct result of insisting on some margin in our lives (which for us means no sports this season...different but good for us)

We have been reading more than we have in ages.

We are going through things and trying to get rid of as much as possible.

We watched LOTS of basketball this past weekend, and bought the kids a Wii. They now think we are the coolest parents on the planet.

We had lunch with friends after church which is always refreshing to our souls. By the time we left, it was time for dinner. Just a nice, lazy day.

I am reading a book called "Choosing Forgiveness" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, which is challenging.

And I am checking email like a crazy woman, wondering if today will be the day we hear from Rwanda.
