"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Comfort

We decided it was time to move the glider out of Cooper's room to make room for the train table. I got distracted mid-move and the glider ended up in the living room. As much as I detest wood gliders as part of living room furniture, especially our light colored, nursery matching glider amongst our dark wood living room, no one (and by no one, I mean Justin) seems to be in a hurry to move it out to the shed. I guess there is something to be said about comfort!
