Unspeakable Things

• The state of the frying pan and the stove top after Gregory makes the eggs
• The way my linen shirts look after I forget to get them out of the dryer
• That moment when I finally discover what stinks in the basement
• The sensation of reaching right into a fat grandpappy slug in the strawberry patch
• The depravity of my heart without Jesus

And… switching gears a bit…

• The cup of tea and the moment of blissful quiet while children play with kittens, enough kittens for everyone without a single fight
• The realization that the child you thought would never learn, learned
• The overpowering affection for a small, squishy, sweet human, your very own miracle 
• The gratefulness for a green world, a warm and fruitful world
• The joy of a Redeemer who restores my soul
