I love the way Maddie and Ella get as excited about small gifts as large ones.
Maddie is just as happy with new colors and a coloring book or blank page pad as with a huge Barbie doll ensemble. Ella loves gum more than a basket full of candy.
It was fun to see how excited the girls were about going to Ben and Jerry's for ice cream after we ate wonderful steak at Houston's this weekend. They were practically dancing. Maddie wanted something yellow, so she wound up with lemony-limeny sherbert. Of course, Ella had the same thing she did. Brandon had strawberry in a cone with sprinkles which the girls loved to eat. Sheryl had her favorite pistachio--she likes the green and the nuts. I had butter pecan--so full of pecans! Ahhh, summer!
Thank you God for your large and "small" gifts--for your Son and for the magnolia trees now blooming in Nashville. For salvation and for the community of family. For your love and for the starry night.
