fourty six weeks

It's a rainy Saturday here....

We are finally at the point I've been looking forward to.... A Saturday where the kids are content kind of just hanging out..... watching TV, playing DS's, playing with trains, coloring..... A day that I don't have to run them for fifteen miles in order for them to be .....

quiet.

We have been slowly starting to decorate the house, bit by bit, to welcome T home.

It's not time yet, but, we (I) am working in a nice, steady, anticipation period, so that the children sense that it's getting closer.

I heard the news of the helicopter going down.

About the loss of life.

And I realized, in a fresh way, why I don't watch the news. It may sound strange. It may sound ignorant.

All I know is that I function better when it's just me, The Lord, T and the kids..... no news, no media, just simple trust, hope, and communication.

With nothing to cloud my faith.

My trust.

My hope...

that soon T will be wrapping me in his big, strong, arms....

soon.
