Little Darlin' Wonder

The wonder of Little Darlin'
is that she can just be,
she can rest contentedly,
even on Christmas.

O Lord,
as these Advent days advance,
let me be
like Little Darlin'
and rest contentedly.

Thank You, God, for these wonders of Your love:
*seeing our card smiling back in an unexpected place
*knocking on our neighbors'doors
*being invited in
*Sweet Magnolia
*laughing about the smoke
*making progress
*a bench for our room
*brown paper packages tied up with red satin bows
*Margaret's creativity and ingenuity
*being home with the kids on a Friday night

With gratitude,
Sally
