Yesterday was one of those little happy moments that may not come often but when they do they make everything worth it. The evening seemed just about picture perfect. After a visit to Morgan's new school to meet his teacher and check out the classroom, we had a visit from the the Back-to-School fairy. The kids were amazed when they opened the door and found no one there but presents for both of them. Emma was very happy with her handmade pink pillowcase and her very own box of crayons. We gave Morgan a bike. He was so excited. (No, we don't plan to go this big every year. We just wanted an excuse to finally give him one.) We were able to go out as a whole family and let the kids ride up and down our very safe street. We were riding for almost an hour and never saw any cars driving by. It was just so happy. Two little kids on little bikes with little red helmets riding through the cool twilight. Nate and i soaked in the joy of the moment as we walked hand in hand behind them. It had been raining all day but stopped just for us. The weather was cool and everything looked so amazingly green and beautiful. We ended the evening in a wonderful way too - with special school blessings from our wonderful father and husband.
I just cannot believe how blessed we are and cannot fathom that we in any way deserve it. It makes me think of the Primary song I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me (Whenever I hear the song of a bird...). Maybe, just possibly, our Heavenly parents feel the same way Nate and i felt with Morgan's bike. They are just waiting for any excuse to bless us and they feel joy when they do. I am so grateful for all i have been given.
