Spring cleaning progresses slowly
So the boys are still sick and overtired lately. Ezra is going through a very “2″ phase and potty training is regressing. Some dear friends of ours are grieving. I’m having RUF girls over tonight. Life continues and spring cleaning isn’t nearly what I’d like it to be given all the emotions and chaos that happens in life. I’m committed and I’m excited to purge, so in baby steps, we’ll keep on keeping on.
We’ve had some lovely little moments lately. Our baby tree in the front has some lovely white blossoms on it and I saw a bird land there for a minute and it made me happy. We’ve purchased some soil and herb seeds and hope to begin sprouting some seeds. It’ll be a great messy project for the boys once I get around to pre-soaking the seeds. The sun has been out and I’ve worn flip-flops. The wind is still chilly but the blue skies and things growing have done my soul good. I’ve been pretty worn out with the emotional fortitude needed to withstand daily life around here. But small glimpses of beauty help rectify that.
Now if I can have my home participate in some of that beauty, that too, will refresh me.

Praying for you and whatever your grieving entailes. God is faithful to accomplish wonderful beauty in your heart in this time. Kurto & I have done much grieving htis year and what it produces is both painful and beautiful all at once. He gives beauty for ashes friend. Also I was inspired by your spring cleaning. All I got to was three trash bags in the hall, a half painted fence Kurt’
s surgery & then strep throught. We shall get through…
