The Week(ish) in Pictures


This is me, after my sister laboriously waved allllll my hair.  The end result was an enormous lot of red hair, but I kinda liked it!  I texted a few pics to my teenage daughter, who was less enthused.  It reminded my husband of how I looked when we first started dating - the 90s version of me (with a few gray hairs added of course!).



Can I get a amen?  Seriously though, are there established homes (with moms at the helm, I suppose), who do not have a gift bag full of gift bags?  If there are such homes, I don’t wanna know.  A bag full of reused bags is how we get things done around our house.  Is there any other way? 




Oh my goodness, yes!   I would take any of these texts, gladly!  Some of my teens are pretty good about checking in with dear old mom (and saying lovely things like “I love you”), but  others are less skilled in these areas.  No money needed?  No driving?  Chores done without being asked?  I would be euphoric!  





And finally, this thought provoking image.  How many times does God’s mercy feel irrational, until it is me who needs his all-encompassing grace and forgiveness!  Praise God for the love He has for every member of His flock.
