This may easily be my favorite and most neglected of all the rooms in my house. As I spent some time out here relaxing, reading, praying, contemplating tonight I was reminded of how precious these moments are. It was a beautiful evening. I was able to come home, play with my little guy, go for a walk, go for a jog, exercise in the park, come home to bathe my baby, enjoy a shower myself, walk around the house and pick up a little, run across the street to visit with a sister, come home make popcorn and enjoy it... finally... sit back and enjoy it-- in my sun-room. What a beautiful night! I am so thankful for the sunshine. I am thankful for the fresh garden that is starting to poke through. I'm thankful for the sweet toddler toys that are beginning to consume my backyard. I'm thankful for the cloth diapers that are overtaking my sun-room. I am thankful for so very many things. And yet, it was just the most simple of evenings. This is what life is all about. This room helps remind me that this is what it's all about. And it's wonderful!
Oh summer, how I'm going to welcome you with open arms. We will certainly love the many hours we can spend in the sweet sun-room!
"When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because
the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his
head and lay down to sleep."
Genesis 28:11
