Reflecting the Light - a (belated) thankful thursday

388: laugh lines (one grace wrinkled)


389: clothes washed, folded, placed away in drawers as an act of love (one grace smoothed)


390: a new semester, new beginnings unfolding (one grace unfolded)


391: the encouragement found in being told "You are different from all the other girls...the light of Christ shines in your spirit...you are beautiful!" Matthew 5:16

this past week...

was wonderful. 


It was filled with...

laughter / gifts / stories / smiles / presents / reading / late nights / games / memories / giggles / photography / faith / teasing / hugs / snow / playing with dolls / jokes / sleeping in / good books /delicious food / photo shoots / card games /  laughing / songs / 25 people in one giant house

This is what happens when my mom's family gets together. =)  We don't see each other often--they live 16-18 driving hours away--but have so much fun when we do. 









Entering in the beauty in design challenge // week 5.
