Last night Simeon looked at me, stroked my shoulder, and said, with even a bit of awe in his voice, "Mommy, you look beautiful. "
I am presently gross, sick, yucky, and could not feel any more un-appealing than I do now.
Really.
Yet that's what he saw, and that's what he said.
Oh, to see through the eyes of my 3 year old.

amiga querida
all it takes is a few days spent in the ICU with one of the people dearest to your heart to change your perspective on everything..... much of what we think is important really isn't... and when it comes down to it, we just want to love God and trust Him. really trust Him. and love the people around you.... love them well.
oh how I love my buddy...

let it go
Then Jesus said to His disciples:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Since you cannot do this very little, thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Luke 12:22-34
