My morning and early afternoon consisted of taking a little boy to a birthday party. All of us played outside in the wonderful brisk fall air, opened birthday presents and had delicious Super Hero birthday cake *YUM*. By the time we got back to his house his mom was there with McDonalds for all of us. I ended up hanging out for a little while talking to the mom and playing outside in the sandbox. I left there and went to a friends house where I decided to be Audrey Hepburn at our church's fall festival this coming Tuesday. I am excited I have a beautiful dress that I was able to borrow and I think my friend has gloves and sunglasses for me to borrow as well! Tonight I was able to babysit for another family; who has a little girl, 3 and a little boy, 2. Their neighbor was having a pumpkin carving party and I was lucky enough to take the kiddos. We carved their pumpkin, had scrumptious snacks and played tag with another little boy!
I am not sure why playing with kids all day made me so happy but it did. God blew me away today with an abundance of love and grace. Children have such a freedom about them and they make you want to be free and fully abandoned. I was reminded of all the blessings I have in my life and all of the things I hope to one day have.
Thank You Father for all You have given me and the dreams You have placed inside of me!
