God’s Teddy Bear

So I had one of those moments today when everything in life felt peaceful and perfect.  When I was overwhelmed with a sense that all was right in the world and that I was doing exactly what I should be doing.  I picked up the kids from school and we were driving home.  The cottonwood trees are in full bloom and there was cotton flying all around Juanita village – it practically looked like it was snowing.  Liam looks out his window and says:

Liam: “It’s God’s teddy bear again!!!” 

Me: “What do you mean, God’s teddy bear?

Liam: “I think God’s teddy bear got ripped and the inside part is floating down on all of us.”

Ummm….how can you not just want to freeze time in those moments and let all the joy of having kids sink into your bones!
