The Blessed Things

Sitting around the campfire.

Laughing.

Reading.

Studying Him.

The Book of James.

S'more S'mores, Please!

A. wearing marshmallow lipstick and making a holy mess.

Girls talking until late in their tent.

Mamas falling asleep praying for dear friends in Panama.

Giant teenaged boys sprawled on the basement floor.  Legs and arms everywhere.

Andrew's eyelashes.

The coconut bra and laughing until it hurts.

A son turning seventeen.

Just…the sun on my skin.

Healing up a bit.

Practicing conflict.

Carrying the Shoulders in my heart and in my prayers while he labors in Peru.

Missing him.

An email from Sarahgirl that made me cry.

Missing her.

All of these.

With thanks, Lord, for…


The blessed things,

Bernadette
