There was a lovely day this week
to check out something OUTSIDE.
Green Springs Gardens- Alexandria, VA.
The pond had geese and babies
and turtles rising to the top of the pond
to let sunshine dapple their heads.
The big boys were the Adventure leaders.
We did ALL the paths
and they got to choose which way to go.
Little guy loved screeching
and cuddling Slothy.
The Hydrangeas are in their
glory days right now.
There was plenty of place to run and "just be."
If it was a bit more crowded
we whipped on our masks.
Outings are a bit more challenging
these days as the bathrooms are not "open."
We won't be gone long.
Big Brother Levi told Isaiah-
"you need to hold my hand."
SO of course,
Gigi is pushing the stroller behind-
no one wanted to ride in it.
And in this quiet moment I prayed
for all the "quarantine mommas."
Dear Heavenly Father,
YOU SEE these days and how hard
they are all working to hibernate
little families together
and keep the normal working for them.
Give these mommas courage, fortitude and
creativity to lean into this precious time together.
Bless them with health and safety.
We lift them up to you
for your tender care. Amen.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
"Therefore encourage one another
and build each other up,
just as in fact you are doing."
