Three Gifts Seen as Reflections

#169  My Mamaw's sister, a love of mine all her own, but family resemblance graciously recalls my Mamaw's face and warms my heart ever more.

#170  "Tree of Life" film, a reflection of the unsurpassed beauty of creation and the awestruck wonder of the Creator Himself. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?..." Job 38: 4-6

#171  My little one with his pointed eyebrows and dancing eyes, mimicking his Nana both without and within.

Three Ugly-Beautiful Gifts (See Beauty in Ugly)

#172  Grassy dirt on the floor, evidence of four kids spending an afternoon together in the beautiful weather outdoors.

#173  The boy, who seemingly hides behind the hoodie against this mother's wishes, has the confidence to be unconventional.

#174  When the daughter starts her day distraught and sobbing over a lost item, we are given the opportunity to talk about the unimportance of possessions, being content in the Lord.
