The legacy of a man
Someone once told me that the most important job titles in life are not going to be found in a Fortune 500 company, not in any professional review journal, nor in any other prestigious resume. Rather, the most important job titles in life are found on the headstones and obituaries of the ones we love and admire; and one day of our own. Beloved Husband. Loving Father. Cherished Son. Loyal Friend.
To pack or not to pack
Beach packing. Whether it be for a week or just a day trip, packing your family for the beach is no joke.
Soak in the summer
We have made it through 2 full weeks of summer vacation and my girls have already gone through nearly 2 bottles of sunscreen, read through 40+ library books, wore down a box of sidewalk chalk down to little nubbins, and most likely eaten their weight in ice pops by now.
The most precious things
Precious things are always entering and leaving our lives all the time. We know this as fact of life, yet sometimes it's just so hard to let go. Why? Because these things, these people, these places, they hold such memories and spark such joy that we fear that when they are gone, we'll lose it all. They are all just so, well, precious.
