When you get to sleep in after getting up at 4:50 AM for the past five days.
When you make a fresh pot of coffee and enjoy a little morning time with your parents.
When you pack up a lunch and head out for an adventure with the family.
When you meet up with dear, missed, and little faces and enjoy creation.
When you give hungry little mouths refreshment and tired little legs rest.
When you hop out of the car at a random stop and run to Dairy Queen for a special treat.
When you come home to a wagging tail, a purring snout, and a chirping beak.
When you make supper with family and enjoy the evening cool.
When you look back sad by the bickering but smiling at the memories.
When you look ahead to a Day of rest and worship and fellowship.
And you can't help but count your blessings, and give thanks, and remember days like these on all the other ones.
happily,
Lauren
