The best gifts rarely come in wrapping paper…

So Rachel started back to work this week which meant I got to hang out with…

who insisted we play outside after nap…which meant…

this little guy got bundled quickly in whatever I could find so these two could…

And while I DID raise three little Reimers in this house…it has been a while and don’t let us grandma’s fool you…

we may be all calm now but down deep we are just one step away from being a frazzled mom who keeps chanting “blessed are the peacemakers….”

So we defaulted to whatever worked — which meant Emmett wore his pj’s and Joel had an oversized Notre Dame hat tied on and I was wearing Rachel’s boots and if I thought to grab a coat, I do not remember…but we did it and got a bike ride in before the sun went down…

After I left, Rachel texted me and said Graham told her this gem as I was driving away …

“Mom, she’s so silly….but God put a good mom for you in her.”

Me? Silly?

He’s right.

I am silly.

But I may just be typing with one hand and raising the other in praise to think that he knows anything good in me…

that’s all God <3

I hope and pray God delights you with some unexpected reminder of how much you are loved by Him….even if you’re kinda silly like me…

Have a blessed weekend and I’ll see you Monday.
