I understand

Something has kicked in me in the past few weeks. I guess the reason has been the time...time with my daughter...time FOR my family...time to be the wife and mother I love to be...

I'm already wanting to cry because this will be over so soon.

But that's not why I'm here now--"now" while I'm in the midst of making picked-from-our-tree fresh peach pies. I'm here because the past few weeks have given me some time to think a little more about life and faith and I've realized what Jesus said so long ago is, of course, true. We're blessed when we come to Him as little children--when our faith consists of just trusting and believing. I'm not as blessed when I'm philosophizing about the different beliefs and denominations and I'm certainly not as blessed when I'm considering the political ramifications of our faith, or, for that matter, the religious ramifications of our politics. I'm most blessed when I just accept and believe and trust and hope and love.
