Two, Count 'em, TWO!

Say hello to Sarah Day Hamilton and Jessica Day Ontiveros. These two daughters of mine are due within a few days of each other. I'm been reflecting on all the love poured out on these two by our friends and families.

Our great friend, Kay Boswell, otherwise known as the Shower and Tea Party Lady, along with a host of friends and family, blessed my girls with the most amazing showers.

Sarah, due October 5 and expecting a girl (Scarlet), her first,  was given a sweet tea party shower.


 Jessica, due a few days after Sarah, and expecting a boy (Isaac) was given a Mother to Bee Shower.


Jessica, with her son Micah and daughter Lily.
 I'm a very blessed woman:
Me and My Girls (Not Shown: My handsome son Nathan)

Randy and I will have nine grandchildren by Christmas, and we couldn't be more exited and grateful. Thanks to Kay and friends, and to the awesome husbands who loaded all the presents at the end.  


My love colored glasses are clouding over thinking of the many blessings we have. Above all, thanks be to God. Makes me think of this:

What are you looking at through love colored glasses today?

Wednesdays are always quiet at our library. Funny, can't figure that one out. Hump Day slump I guess. At closing time, there are soft clouds shielding the west windows from the sun. There are the usual patrons who don't think we staff have a life and so we have to run them out. We all have supper to fix. Before I put on my librarian face and request that they leave, I sit here and reflect on the day.

Our Director's brother had a stroke today. We are praying for him and for the family as they minister to him.  Each of us has some kind or another of drama going on. There's also a stomach bug going around. It is nice to have the support and friendship that we share here. Even though from different "flavors", we share faith as well.

I love the way these women count their blessings. They may have troubles, but they can also be heard expressing gratitude.

The sun is completely covered now, and the silver lining around the clouds pictures the close of this day. We go home to family and friends, held in the palm of the Father's hand. A beautiful day by any account.
