– Lisa\’s gentle reminder, just a few months out from losing Shirley Mama, to not take our parents (and their role of grandparents) for granted.

– 2 \”new\” antique keys
– Our Easter tree, inspired by Carol Brazo in her chapter on \”Lent\” in No Ordinary Home. Maybe we didn\’t get it decorated until day 27, but hey – it\’s up before Holy Week. Love this tradition of reciting God\’s stories from Genesis to Revelation.
– Vacuuming up Essie\’s tooth in the car wash while she was at gymnastics. She\’d lost it in the car on the way to gymnastics. Oops. Before bed, when I explained and apologized, she said tearfully, \”That was the tooth I was going to save to show to my children.\”

– Young Life\’s paint wars!
– Hud\’s track meets – oh my gosh he is fun for us to watch. Such a treat. Anchor in 3 relays.

– How quickly the Lord can clear my heart of bitterness ~ I just have to get out of myself long enough to remember to ask Him.
– How Friday evening found them
– When Moses asked the Lord who will go with him when he leads the people (he sounds exasperated), and the Lord says, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” Ex 33:14. That looking into a full day, a full week, I can count on His presence AND His rest.
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles… 1 Chronicles 16:11-12
