I read this blog entry by Ann Voskamp at the beginning of the week and it hit me deep down. It's worth reading, and re-reading. Please do.
There are still resurrections and we are witnesses.

Spring break week was full of wonderfully relaxing together time, the highlight being a surprise trip to the beach for my boys. They come alive, even more than their normal liveliness, while on the beach. It is a joy to see.

130)watching a little one learn to walk
131)big brothers who cheer on every step
132)answered prayer
133)childrens' books on tape
134)open windows in early spring, the breeze blowing in
135)homemade bagels
136)the ocean
The fun started when they ran to the van only to be surprised by our buddies Megan and Joel already in their seats, along for the ride! Then we hit the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, listened to Disney Classics and Slugs and Bugs: Under Where? while giving hints as to where we might be going. It finally hit them as we crossed the bridge, and they were bursting at the seams with excitement - Justy with his toy camera to capture the moments, Simeon with his tiger binoculars in place as to not miss a thing, Cole with his body-clenching shakes as he joins in on the energy he feels from his brothers. Lunchables (a rare treat!) for the boys, crab fries for us (yummmmm), running,toddling, exploring, imagining on the beach, babies feeling the ocean with their toes, visiting our favorite boardwalk spots, seagulls attacking us (REALLY!), fresh fudge samples, lots of skipping, hopping, hand-holding, giggling.
It was a happy, sunny, full-of-thanks day.
