When I was 16, I used to babysit for a sweet family from church who had a 4 year old, 2 year old, and (I think) a baby.
They had these beautiful blue and white dishes that were well-loved and chipped. I loved the style so much that I made sure to register for them when we got married.
Now our dishes are chipped, too. The end.
The circle of life. ::sigh::
And you had more energy taking care of those kids in highschool, right?! 🙂
Lord, please send Emily and her family a wonderful young girl who loves You and is faithful to You to love them, to come alongside of them and help serve them and bless them. Thank You for Emily, who is Your daily servant. I pray that You would make her a mighty mentor and encourager of the younger women coming behind her, and that they would be spurred on to love You more by her love and service to You and to her family. And I ask You that You would fill Emily’s heart with overflowing joy as she looks around her house and sees so many evidences of You there, Your faithfulness, and Your great purpose for her life. Lord, please bless their home, down to the chips in their dishes! <3
