All Along



Spring was way more busy than I like. 
Rarely a minute alone.  Rarely a minute together.
We are just beginning to slow down.

As my hundreds of pictures are loaded onto the computer,
my eyes finally see what the hurried pace left behind.



The lens has seen and saved what I was missing. 
God was pouring out the gifts all along.


And now,
finally,
weeks later,

thanks to the lens that saved bits and pieces,
I thankfully receive the gifts.


I see them here in the ordinary moments,

the rare moments,


the little bits of progress,


the sticky and sweet,


the bright and sunny,


the gorgeous growing,


the mysteriously made,


the  warm and fuzzy,


 the sleepy and furry,


the formal and fancy,


the fun lovey-dovey,


the simple and quiet, 


   the new old favorites,


and the surprise floating finds.



It's all so good.  It all matters.


 And I don't want to miss a thing.


Thank you, Hanna, for sharing a few!
