Greg Loves Sarah

*happy sigh*

They may be different in size….but they both have hugged Perkins girl feet. The big ones are mine. The little ones either carried me or my sister. It is amazing to hold teeny little shoes and think that, once upon a time, they weren’t so teeny…

Here is another pair of shoes that I appreciate. They once belonged to a little boy at a children’s home in Guatemala. I served there for a few weeks. When the little guy got “new” shoes, I decided to keep his old ones. What a reminder of the “shoes that others are walking in”……

Lord, help me to LOVE! Help me to SEE!

No – the car wasn’t exactly DIRTY; it was ATTACKED by pollen :) And THAT was impossible for Melanie to resist writing in! I love you BACKER, Malloo!!!! @@@@@@@@

Can you believe that in Spring on a Sunday night, Starbucks, Cold Stone Creamery, and Chewy Balls (a tapioca place) all closed at 9 pm!!!!!!!??? Just a random point. :) This pic was taken in the parking lot of those CLOSED places. :)

Oh! the things that make you smile and snicker when you really should be doing something else….I came across this little Winnie the Pooh quote a few minutes ago…. :) *hee hee; giggle; grin*

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes, he feels that there really is another way . . . if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.”

There HAS to be an analogy in there SOMEWHERE!!!! :D

:) Had my picture taken with Winnie the Pooh once….

You may now continue with your regularly scheduled grown-up activities…. :D

Welp, I’ve been here at the Bogner’s home for a week now…and tomorrow I head for home. It takes an awfully special family to take a gal in on the spur of the moment and keep her under their roof for 8 nights with no definite time of departure. :) I’ll just say it right out – the Bogner’s are pretty special people!!!! They have welcomed me into their home and treated me like family. Spending the last week here has been more than just a treat…It has been a gift from my Father! Words are not enough……..

Mel and I have worked (her on school and other projects and me on curriculum). We have talked (though MAYBE less than when we are in separate states – a conversation with a true friend requires no words :) Also while here, I’ve gotten to spend time with so many other dear people. I guess I shouldn’t attempt a review…..OH! WHY NOT!!!! Here goes nothing….I have enjoyed……

Park-walking, post-patting, sprinkler-running, turnover-making, movie-watching, hair-koolaiding, late-night-chatting, airplane-flying, goofiness-partaking, Beth-tickling, dark-chocolate-consuming, starbucks-raiding, sunshine-enjoying, and the list goes on and on and on and………..

Anyways today was a lovely day! Melanie and I headed out to the park where we enjoyed the bright warm sunshine while painting toenails, and reading aloud….. It was so nice….. Nails came out cute….. Story was interesting……But the being together part was priceless. :)

Y’all….we serve an awesome God. He really does think more thoughts of us than there is sand on the shore…

Glad to be HIS and grateful for YOU,
