A friend is hurting and it hurts me, too. I want to take away the pain, I want to grab it in my hands and sit on it, keeping it from heading into your heart. It doesn’t work that way.
I hate that it doesn’t work that way.
I’m reminded, again, how fragile life is. How one moment can be so delightful and beautiful and the next … just the opposite.
I think, the only thing I can really do, is cherish the delightful. Observe the beautiful. And be there, ready, for when she needs me.
My new favorite flower from my old favorite Valentine

favorite things on my desk
Yes. This. Exactly.
All we can do sometimes is be there!
Lovely photos as always
Praying for your friend!
Those are great photos! Those flowers are gorgeous!
Happy Valentine’s Day from Japan!
Hey Adam. Thanks for saying exactly what I was going to say. Jerk.
My heart goes out to Stephanie…I clicked on your link and she had the most beautiful post….I will pray that God continue to hold them in his loving arms….xoxo
My heart is breaking for Steph and I hope and pray that after this ugly she will find beauty in you, her friends, who will help lift her back up.
Also…You will be on my mind tomorrow as you take Eli in for surgery. There is nothing easy for a momma about handing her precious babe over – even to capable hands.
Prayers for your friend…right now my sister is hurting and it kills me because she’s 600 miles away and has no one there with her and I wish I could be there. Prayers too for Eli and a safe surgery tomorrow!
These photos are so beautiful and peaceful- a lot of what I am feeling today. So thankful to have loved so much.
Steph
Anna looks so grown up in this picture of her. Praying all goes well with Eli…and you have a peaceful night.
Beautiful pictures! A lot of great favorites.
