Sunday morning.
Me on my side.
He on his.
Five pillows.
One for him.
Four for me.
One big, fluffy blanket.
The oldest one
snuggled between us.
The younger
Her head nestled into his shoulder.
Tiny toes wiggling on me.
My nails tickling her bare tummy.
Rubbing the other’s little back.
Bags of cheerios in sticky little hands.
Sippy cups for them.
No yummy morning drink for him.
Ear muffs.
Gasp.
He does not like them.
Deliciousy-o-so iced coffee for me.
Smiling.
Together.
Laughing.
Together.
Talking.
Together.
Being.
Together.
These moments are my heaven.
An hour in this church.
God’s wink to us this morning.
Me on my side.

Exactly how much we all are learning from you two is unmeasurable. learning how to stand by each other like a mighty forest defying the wind, learning how to be ever so gracefully beautiful in the face of these bruising and unrelenting terrorist attacks, and learning how to simply smile when all around you is a swirling black cloud trying to dim your focus on GOD. How truly amazing you both are, I knight you both "The Greatest Teachers Ever".
