One day, but not today.

This has been a heavy week in our country. It's easy to start to feel discouraged and to feel your heart breaking for those who are suffering. So today I decided to make today an extra special day for me and Eva.

One day she will have to get dressed and put on professional clothing....but today she stayed in her jammies all morning.

One day she will know the realities of living in a fallen world...but today we watched silly sing-along movies.

One day she will have to share my attention....but today it was just me and her, all morning long.

One day I will have to clean and do errands...but today we just played.

One day she will jump out of the car door when I drop her off...but today she laughed as I smothered her in kisses and hugs.

One day she will need to eat healthy foods....today I think we'll make some cookies.

One day she will make her own decisions about God...today she was sweetly cuddled in my arms, patting my back as we prayed together for the people we know who need prayer.  

One day she will have a busy schedule full of school and activities....but today it was only full of finger painting and toys.

One day she won't think that I'm the coolest person to hang out with....but today she was perfectly content to sit in my laps and read stories.

Are you crying yet? Because I am...but at least they are tears of JOY!  Praying for everyone who is hurting this week and for the people we love.
