WAIT! There is something on my fridge....
I have been pondering my empty,plain,slick,cold,shiny refigerator.....this tagging thing has me all upset....I am now really missing my magnetic letters(that I used to have!),all those smiling faces of friends(that I used to have!) Beautifully colored artwork from my lovely talented daughters(I still have them-the daughters,that is) I still have the artwork,too.They are just buried in bright colored portfolios hidden away in my closet. My refrigerator is so plain....Frankly,I am jealous of all the cluttered ones!
Then I went and took another close look and saw hundreds of grimy, smudgy, grubby fingerprints allover the bottom half of the fridge and I jumped for joy! These are the little things I treasure....the small things,the grubby things,the sweet little reminders of God's goodness in allowing me more sweet little blessings! I am forever grateful for these fingerprints....they don't show up on the picture,but they are there,I promise, and they are not coming off for a long,long time!

I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

I love those little fingerprints! What a great quote!
Ok I am jealous of your "plain, slick, cold, shiny," refrigerator...but they say the grass is always greener. As my Mom says "you will miss those days, enjoy them now". I am really trying =) Thanks for putting it in wonderful perspective.
