a different kind of happy

It was another beautifully gorgeous day today.

The sky was blue, the wind was cool…..

It was perfect.

As I was driving to pick up the twins from preschool, something occurred to me.

I’m happy.

Really happy.

I had not realized how heavy my heart was until things started to lift.

I don’t know if I’ve felt this kind of happiness before.

It’s not the “I have everything I’ve ever wanted” happiness.

It’s something else.

It’s being happy after walking through something tremendous - to get there.

THAT happiness.

It’s happiness that can only come through walking somewhere - with The Lord.

Happiness that HE gives.

Our birthfather has missed his first deadline for his appeal brief.

He was just given a 15 day notice. (Shorter than we thought it would be).

Is it possible there is a light somewhere down this road we’re on?
