her prayers tonight

Thank thee for my family.
Thank thee for my good day.
Please bless that I can love everyone.
Please bless that everyone can be modest.
Please bless that Mikey will like playing with me better than playing his video games.
Please bless that Jesus can always be our King.
amen.

...I love sincerity in prayer...

finding joy

Long drives demand music variety. Which is how a hand-me-down John Denver CD ended up in the mix. And, days later I’m still thinking of the words to a not-so-familiar JD tune:

Joy was just a thing that he was raised on.
Love was just the way to live and die.

These words have me thinking about the role of JOY in the lives of my children; thinking of what I can do to make our day-to-day more joyful. So, even though it isn’t even close to New Years, a resolution I have made: find more JOY; find a way to make the work and the errands and the cleaning and the learning and the together time more full of joy.
