Five Minute Friday: Wonder

Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking

Five Minute Friday: Wonder

Go.

my little girls amaze me.  all new things they learn and even the way they learn things.  the way they respond to situations and how already they fight for what they think is right.

i love how they delight in the little things.  how chocolate milk is the best treat.  and how everyday we talk about going sledding even though grace has never seen firsthand enough snow to be able to sled.

it delights me as they learn new things and can tell daddy that God made them - super cute of course.  and how everyone is a friend but somedays only mommy abi and daddy are best friends. 

wonder means to me that childlike taking in of everything around them.  oh how i hope i haven't lost that ability and that especially this christmas season i'll take it all in - the lights and beauty but also the meaning and reason for it all.

Stop.

  1. There really is nothing like child-like wonder. It is so precious. Enjoy watching your girls wonder, and let it rub off on you.

  3. Love it. My daughter has told several people already that she loves ice skating. She has even asked us when we'll enroll her in ice skating lessons. Yet...she's never even worn skates. :) It's wonder-ful enthusiasm.
