Is love alive...

by - 12:06 AM

yes...
and you know what...
it's so sweet.
Love, it rolls.

I feel like our family is growing.  It feels like I'm growing.  "They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow, or so I have been told."  But you know what's under the snow? A waiting, a deepening, a holding. Your buried, it's cold and dark and silent.  But love is with you. If you stay and wait, something happens.


I think Light will come.  The snow will melt and you will emerge, with love.  And life will find a way.






I love my dad.  He's has the most giving heart I have ever known.  He gives and gives and loves.  And I'm so glad that he's with us in the midst of life and these boys.  They love him.


I don't know what's in this bag.  Our decorations are just kind of a collection of me and Jeff's childhood, plus some extra.  And it's a sure pile of misfit's.  But I know that loves alive when I look in this bag...


































Who's telling you that love is alive...
Who's bringing light into your world and telling you what is true...
Are you alone...
Feeling lost...compass broken, flag a bit frayed...
It's ok.  We all need someone that makes us grow tall, love us on our worst day...
That's what it means to live in a world where it's hard to get it right.








Hello little joy angel...





And I have no idea how to put this star on.  When I was a kid we had something made out of felt and sticks that I sewed with yarn.  So we used plastic ties and called it good.


Did you know that when you put Christmas lights in your kids room, everyday when you turn them on they will think that Christmas is actually in their room.  No joke, they will freak out and jump around and want to have a birthday party for Jesus, and a cake with ice cream.  It's awesome...try it...they'll freak out!


And this little boys is saying things like "all do" and "bye bye" and "yup".



And gosh I really don't have any good answers.  I can't fix it.  Only the Rescuer can.  This world is a broken place.  And we are broken people.  Is love alive...yes.  Does it always feel that way...no.  But listen...you just wait, life will find a way.  Stuff will grow, even if it's buried in a long winter it will grow.  Don't believe them when they say it's buried too deep...you just wait.
And strut...don't forget to strut.
