remember spring swaps snow for leaves

And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends

-Mumford & Sons, Winter Winds

thank you to everyone who lifted prayers. james received steroids and a breathing treatment and we had a much better night. he woke up without any more wheezing or labored breathing:)

no word yet on jim's uncle.

jim, however, is in the ER as i type. an old knee injury was re-injured at basketball today and we're waiting on word.

for the love.

i still don't have a real post for you, so i shall instead direct you to my friend heatherly's grace-words:

And I am blessed that He doesn't ask me to put on a plastic mask and pretend that it's a "praise the Lord" morning. He knows it's a "I want to crawl back under the covers and hide from the world, but I'm choosing to rejoice because I know that there is joy hiding even in this" kind of morning.

i hope you'll read the rest by clicking over to A Pinkdaisy Life.

we've had a rather eventful week or so around here: a family trip to a water park in ohio, my 31st birthday, seed planting and the start of our heirloom community garden venture with new friends:)  i'm sure i'll manage to get some thoughts and pictures onto screen soon.

until then,

grace and peace, friends.
