Mosaic Wonder


Broken pieces
coming together
in the cross
creating
marvelous mosaic wonder!

Thank You, glorious God, for these wonders of Your love:
*dear Berklee
*catching Daddy, as usual, out on the porch
*fall!
*counting blessings
*our wonderful washing machine
*napping with Little Darlin and Sweetie Pie
*the perpetual pink potato vine
*sending a birthday party to Athens over the phone
*Andrew riding his bike around Jacksonville
*Vic inviting me out on a date!

With gratitude,
Sally
