Well, summertime is officially over.
And that got me to thinking about summer and lots of sweet memories began tumbling through my head – which led to me feeling immeasurably grateful.
Which led to this list of Random MOMents I am grateful for from this summer:
- witnessing selflessness in college students
- the warmth of sunshine
- the warmth of sonshine
- chocolate lava cake
- making new friends
- cooling breezes
- giggles of little ones
- my man flirting with me
- scripture being read out loud by young voices
- a little girls dream becoming a reality
- tiny hands being held by very large hands
- cooking with my girl
