surprise & delight.

When I was in first grade I remember coming home from a doctor’s appointment to find a big, velvety, green hippo on my bed.

I can still remember the surprise & delight I felt.

I’m thankful for surprises.

I find joy in being on either side of a surprise.

I love little ones like leaving or receiving unexpected notes or a spur of the moment trip to 7-11 for slurpees.

I can’t wait for Christmas morning to see the delight on the faces of my two favorite little people.

& it always amazes me when I’m surprised by God.

In some ways I don’t think I should be & yet how can I not be when I abide in awe & wonder of Him & his amazing grace & love for me every day?

Delightfully surprising & then some.

ps. We are headed to Dillon, Colorado for Thanksgiving.

The predicted high for the day of thankfulness?

12 little degrees.

Oh my stars.

Mexico, where are you when I need you?
