~Beautiful Life Friday~

I am loving this idea of posting a "Beautiful Life Friday" every Friday. It's so great to stop and think of what I am so blessed with! Here are some things I'm grateful for this Friday!


~Katie's wedding gifts/boxes piling up! Everyday the UPS man comes to our door with another gift~


~Katie's bouquet for her bridal portrait done last night~
~Lexie's unmade bed. Her Bible is not there and she's in Uganda, Africa!~
~Messy bathroom with a sweet little pink stool~
~School's out for the summer! It's nice having a lazy (he's going to mow the yard today!), sun-burned teenage boy in the house!
~If I were a bird, I want to be a Cardinal. The daddy's help take care of the babies (just like Karl does)! We have 3 baby cardinals in our Crepe Myrtle tree. Here is the daddy bringing something yummy to them~
Also...I found this song sung by "Passion" (???) that I just love. It was a song that blessed me during my wait for Karleigh Mei and continues to! I have it playing. It was written by Tommy Walker. 

The words are for "He Knows My Name":

I have a maker
He formed my heart,
before even time began
My life was in his hands

He knows my name
He knows my every thought,
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call

I have a father,
he calls me his own
He'll never leave me,
no matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call 

What are you blessed with this week!?

Oh the Passion lyrics touched my heart! I'm downloading that one right now on itunes! I love your beautiful ordinary life. I am reminded weekly to look at MY life's little blessings.

I love that song too! I was introduced to it last year at church when the worship team played it for the kids at the Royal Family Kids Camp for kids in foster care due to abuse or neglect. Not a dry eye in the place!

I love that song. We named our son, Jadon, because it means "God has heard". God heard our son's cries before we even knew him!

Love the flowers and all the living going on in your house.

Blessings,
Sarah

Well, it's June 1st, so let me officially congratulate you on your 18th wedding anniversary. You know, I read about your story with Karl FAR before we were China travel buddies, and it was SO touching! Tell it again- tell it again! :) Have a great day!
