My daily life is comprised of many vignettes all strung together.

Those little pieces normally deal with, in no particular order:

Discipling and training children
Bodily excretions not my own
Teaching children to count or identify letters and shapes
Reading picture books or other read aloud books
Cleaning up spilled milk (and trying hard not to cry over it)
Exclaiming over another (!) drawing
Building with Duplo on the floor
Food. Making lots and lots of food.

You get the idea. I feel like if I start to write about all those kind of things, I’ll just sound like a Seinfeld episode, filling up 30 minutes with chatter about the mundane.

I don't want to post something just for the sake of posting something. I have lots of things to say, none of which will ever get pinned on Pinterest!

I don't know if you can really understand how often I think of you, our readers. You are such special people, coming back month after month, literally year after year. I pray for you all frequently. Some of you share your prayer requests with us privately and I don't forget them. It is such a privilege to write in this space.

Sometimes we'll have some amazing posts for you, like Kendra's series on Mystery of History Reading Lists or the Crockpot Pork Carnitas recipe I posted back in January that still gets hits every week. And makes me want to run out and buy a pork roast so I can make it tomorrow!

And other times we'll have posts like the one where I posted a real-life picture of my kitchen, reminding everyone that it's really okay to make a mess sometimes.

Whatever we write about, we pray that you know that you are loved and treasured by the One who created you. That God Almighty wants to have a friendship with you that will last for eternity.

Has anyone ever told you that? If they haven't, please let me know. I will be more than happy to talk with you about how you can know our Jesus.
