Everyday Beauty

Summer is here, and the skies reflect the heat with a brilliance of their own...

Raindrops and evening sunlight -- what beautiful moments God scatters in our lives!

Shades of purple and pink and...

Molten fire

Daddy and I had fun helping a friend with his booth for a recent homeschooling conference in Dallas. On our way down, we saw this interesting car... ;)

This photo is looking from our booth at some of the neighboring ones. It was fun meeting some of the other vendors! :) :)

Dear, fun Daddy! What a treat to spend two days with him!

City Art

Sunday, Deborah and I wore our latest creations to church! I love the way Deborah's turned out! (She's such a cutie anyway!) :)

Here's two looks at mine (I wasn't sure which one to post ;)

Art Talk

I like this picture for many different reasons:

#1. The matching dresses. Aren't they adorable? :)

#2. Mother and daughter have obviously been working together on a useful project. Not only does the daughter feel special because her mother has been doing something with her, but the end result is something worthwhile -- tasty pies! :)

Can you think of other reasons?

How many times do we rush ahead in our busy lives, not taking the time to do things with others because we're "too busy"? I often am guilty of this very thing. But what is more important -- getting everything 100% done, or going a little slower and spending time with the people God has placed around us?
