Sunday was a quiet day... church and napping and catching up on TV, because we were too tired for much else. But after church, my three loves huddled in the other room, behind a closed door. I could hear the tearing and crinkling of wrapping paper... and giggling. Loud giggling. The three of them... together. The sound of love... overflowing. And it filled up my heart in a way that no store-bought gift ever could.
Of course, I did love my gift... shoes for Africa! And they fit perfectly.
Wonder how they managed that!
A gift of love unwrapped again... on a Tuesday.

What a sweet and thoughtful gift. :)
Love the giggling and the love. The best present ever, but those shoes look comfy and cute! : )
I hear you. On my Mother's Day picnic, the best moment was when my husband used code language to tell my son to get the gift from its hiding place. They were all in on it. . . I was not. That they would conspire to do something just for me is a thought that I just love. :)
What a wonderful weekend for you all. Your family IS a gift and I love that you always recognize this.
Love those shoes...oh, the places you will go while wearing them!
Sounds wonderful! That sound of love is the best gift of all!! (I do love the shoes too-especially shoes for AFRICA!)
this makes me smile!
p.s. if i get shoes for africa, can i come with you? ;)
Shoes for Africa?? Oooh, I need to do some digging and find out more. :)
I missed all the giggles and breakfast in bed here,but did have a lovely day too.(I told my sweetie that the pastor's hug at church was my human contact for the day.)The Africa shoes are swell! Make sure and wear them at home now,so you don't get blisters on the trip.
