pin points of light
I wanted something to do with light. There is toooo much darkness in this world. I want glitter and sparkle. What names those would be for daughters---- These are my daughters Glitter and Sparkle. Shine girls!
One of my favourite things to do is look up at the sky at night and just rest in the lights shining forth from the darkness. And the next favourite thing to do is get the kids, haul out the pillows and blankets and lay on the ground and watch a meteor shower. Its like out on the lake fishing. It only takes one bite to fuel the patience to sit out there for another hour. So goes with watching a meteor shower. It only takes one to stay out there forever; not wanting to turn your head for fear that you will miss one. And then you do take your eyes away and then you hear one of them say,"There goes one" And you quickly turn your gaze back,frantically saying," Where, where?" But it is too late. It is gone . And so the watch is on for another hour. The cups of cocoa come out frothy with melting marshmallows accompanied with cookies fresh made that afternoon.
Are the stiff necks and backs worth it, you ask? Oh yes, I reply back. Family unity, enjoying God's light show, steamy cups of cocoa and the look of wonder on the childrens eyes as they see another stream of light go by. Ahhhhh yes, some of life's simple pleasures!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodnight all
