Sunday Delight

Sunday is definitely my favorite day of the week. It means church, family, friends, and relaxing at home. Today it meant singing in church with my boy, a church picnic, visiting with a sweet family, discovering baby watermelons in the garden, and a slip-and-slide.

I'm going to try to start having a "Sunday Delight" post every Sunday. Each week I will post one picture of something that makes me happy. God has done so much for us and I want to make sure that I'm documenting at least a few of these blessings along the way...

My picture this week is one of my favorites of all time. When my Grandma Shirley passed away I ended up with her Bible. I love that Bible so much. It has all of her hand-written notes in the margins, as well as a complete record of every birth, baptism, marriage, and death in our family since 1948 when she received it. It shows how much her faith really meant to her {and I can't help but wonder what story my Bible will tell after I'm gone??}.

I have had Grandma's Bible for four years now. Not long ago I was flipping through the pages when I came across this picture. It is weird that I never noticed it before. It is the one and only picture that was tucked away in the pages of the book she treasured so dearly.

When I was little we went to the beach every year, and every year as far back as I can remember my grandma came with us. Each morning she would wake me up before anyone else and we would go for a long walk. We would talk and laugh and look for treasures on the uncombed beach- just me and her. It was my one of my very favorite things about our trips. I will always be thankful for those early mornings with that sweet lady I loved so much. I miss her more than words can express, but I know that she is probably walking on the beaches in Heaven with my sweet Caroline at this very moment. Thankful for my Grandma's faith and for mine; and for the certainty I have in knowing that I will be with two of my favorite girls again one day.

Happy Sunday!
