I am thankful I made coffee last night and packed the kids lunch boxes so I could snuggle in and enjoy sound for a few more minutes... the house was quite.
It does rain in the desert, contrary to what the harsh unforgiving landscape says... but it doesn't usually rain like its been today. Steady for more than 6 hours followed by bursts of waterfall moments.
I've taken breaks to look out the back window, a river runs through it...

These are the days... there is a chill in the air, which will only hang around for a moment... Long enough though to yearn for fall...
In this moment, tasks have taken a back seat, the to-do list is still there... it will be waiting for sure... but sometimes you just have to marvel in it all... to stand in the puddles to walk bear feet in the dirt, to find hidden treasures along your path...

You cannot always take the easy path... or you'll miss some good stuff along the way... Like the water beyond the weeds.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
