Today I am Loving {56}

When you take the drive in order to have an afternoon in a hot sweaty church because there is the work that needs to be done with the longtime friend, and then you go back to her home to prepare the dinner while the children and grandparents play with joyful laughter, and then there is the good simple food and the tired peaceful being,
wrapped in early evening breeze. 

Today I am Loving {55}

When there is piano work inside while the sister lounges on the chair nearby simply just to be with us, and the brother is out on the porch with his book while the little one sleeps on the lap of the friend near the pond out in the yard, and at lesson switch time the girls prepare drinks, and distribute them to all before coming back in while the brother works on the sixteenth note song, to clasp their mugs and to set up the stools, to play the note-reading game that they love.

When the campfire fades to nothing and the stars come to glowing overhead, and the air touches perfect while we talk here lazy quiet, and there is laughter, warm hearts.

When you climb back in the beautiful bed to talk with Him, and you wrap yourself in sheets still warm while pond sounds trickle over your ears, and the birdsong wings all around from every window side.

When the prayer cabin day speaks the hidden things,

in breathtaking simple.

Today I am Loving {51a}

When you are having an evening of the catch-up kind,

and after you dig through the heart things but before you go over the mind things  you run to the store to get a spontaneous treat,

and as you dish it up you say "are we going to be ladylike?" 

and the good-for-the-soul friend says,
"I don't feel the need to be ladylike at all"

and hence, you divvy, and devour.

Today I am Loving {51}

When the research meeting is full of deep thoughts, 

and just as much in laughs.
