we discovered that our neighborhood has a park. you can't get to it by driving, you walk down a sidewalk through houses to this oasis. you can't hear cars, you can't see a street, just a park with houses surrounding it. matt stood at the end of our driveway and i stood at the park and we waved to each other. it's that close.
alaythia was swinging, singing about mary poppins. there were two brothers playing and isaiah quickly joined in, competing in the timed obstacle courses they were creating. i was leaning against the jungle gym.
we had big beautiful clouds today. it was cold when the sun was behind them. every once in a while the sun would peak out, but mostly it stayed hidden. as i stood and watched my two oldest play i heard the bell from the presbyterian church ring. church must be over. the bell filled the air.
but then, the sun came out, i felt it warm my skin. i smiled and took a deep breath, watching my children play in their new home. thankful for this new place, overwhelmed with the beauty of it. and then as if the moment could not get any better, the bells turned from one tone, to many tones and i made out the melody of 'joyful joyful'.
it was a gift. after hard days, and fighting for clarity, God opened the skies and sent through the air the reminder of who He is and what really matters.
