Right now I love the view from my kitchen window. When I am looking out my kitchen window, I see so many things that make me happy:
- Free Sunflowers (Brad’s green thumb)
- Our Compost Garden and its Fresh Produce (Brad’s green thumb)
- Free Newly-Painted Bench (from leftover paint)
- Free Sod (from a friend)
- Free Playhouse (from a friend)
- Free Climber (from a friend)
- Free Wood (from various friends)
- Free Children’s Toys (from my Mom and the neighbors)
- Flower Petals and Clover in Vases (from Naomi & Oliver)
- Free Baby Shampoo (from a gift)
- Free Log & Rope Swing (made by my brother Josh)
- Tall Trees
- Free Curtains (from my Mom)
Cobwebs aside, I see a beautiful backyard, our dream backyard, full of life and love. I see God’s provision for all of our needs, and I see all the people who care about us and share their lives with us. I see my husband’s hard work and I see my children growing up and making memories. I see a place to host teenagers every week of the year as the hear about the love of Jesus, some for the very first time. I see a place where the gospel comes alive, and where everyone is welcome. I love the view from my kitchen window, and I love this place that God has made our home.
