for the sake of love"
~ don't know who said it, but I like it

Today didn't start out as planned.

A grey cloud in the form of strep has loomed over our household. The cough and scratchy throat of one 2 1/2 year old will be needing some attention. Amoxicillin is involved. Lots of kleenex too. And one super fluffy corner on the couch stacked with princess blankets and extra pillows. Ice cream is sure to work it's way into the equation, one must be armed with leverage to offset the whining.

The upside was being greeted with one super big toothy grin, several open mouthed kisses and one high five from my soon to be one year old upon his wakening. Definitely a silver lining.

Sometimes things don't go as planned. Sometimes the year gets off to a rough start with too much sickness and very full schedules that have you doing a balancing act that would put even the most skilled acrobat to shame.

But in spite of it all, this heart is happy.

If someone could look "under the hood," and listen to your heart, what would it say?

Thought this two minute clip would bring a smile to your face today :)


I'll leave you with this Sweet Bellas, it's easy to love the people we love, but today I challenge you to love those that aren't so easy to love....

"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" ~ Matthew 5:44

  2. Strep sure seems to be going around everywhere! Thankfully I have been pretty healthy so far this year. Hoping your family will be soon!

    And I agree... We definitely must strive to love all people, not just those that are easy to love. Thanks for the reminder.

    Blessings on your day, amiga!

  7. Oh, I'm sorry that you've got a sick baby. But that's definitely part of the "love" we're celebrating today--taking care of someone else. Mommy's are really quite good at that. :)
