The Little Things

It really is the little things.
It really is the small things that make grace pile big.

I'm soaking up all the "little" things. Little smiles, little toes, little sighs in early morning light. You'll have to excuse my speechlessness these days...because, well...I am speechless most hours of the day. Speechless so I don't wake a sleeping one. Speechless with awe at how God can make life come full circle for my good and His glory.

I've easily added another thousand gifts  (big and little) to my list of grace in this past week and it leaves me...speechless.

the little things, baby sighs, nightlights, our new normal, seeing my own selfishness, health and safety to deliver this little one into the world, working to love each other well (a brave new world with baby- this is much needed wisdom to practice), a mother in law who loves well, the beautiful ache of missing my own mama (and it is a beautiful ache...)
