My Joy Box

The Lord has blessed me to know some of the most wonderful encouragers and prayer warriors. Since joyous moments are precious and few these days, they have given me a box to savor and highlight the ones that come along. When I find joy in my day, I will place something to remember it in the box. Each of them wrote an encouraging note and Scripture to get me started. Can I just tell you that I am truly blown away by this!

It is hard to remember at times that God can be here in the midst of these difficult and stressful circumstances. I am humbled as He opens my eyes to all He's done and as I recognize that He is the One who has sent each email, phone call, meal, note and encourager into my day. I am truly in awe when I think about how many people God has sent and used to encourage us in some way. He has been here all along.

Lucy Cares

Lucy and Lundyn have always had a special relationship. They usually play, love and fight like sisters. Lately, I've noticed that Lucy is becoming more protective and affectionate with her. I think she knows Lundyn doesn't feel well right now.

Even when Lundyn naps, Lucy is at her side.

She's perched here half way on/off the couch because Lundyn is in her stroller and she can't quite get close enough.
There, Lucy. Are ya close enough yet?

Lucy is protective of Lundyn even during this photo with Mema. Can you find her? Lucy says, "Hey, move it, Mema, you're in my spot."
