I’ve been so amped up and occupied with settling everything and everyone back in from vacations and getting ready for school lately that I’ve been much more of a human “doing” than a human “being”. Â The boys and I have all been a little worse for the wear, and my heart has been aching in the midst of it all…trying to remind me of what really matters. Â This morning Roman asked if he could paint some rocks he brought home from our lake trip. Â Instead of outing with the “not right now” phrase I’ve been using so much as of late, I said “okay” and I’m so thankful that I did. Â We just sat on the back porch in our pajamas and painted rocks. Â Those preciously colorful stones will be Ebenezers placed sweetly by the hands of my child, who God uses so often to character me, in my garden.
