makes my heart happy

i love meeting the boys 
as they get off the bus each afternoon
sam & jacob walk together chatting
ben runs toward me
i'm walking toward him 
with my arms out to each side
if he stops, i stop
he starts back up & runs into my arms
let him stay little
i LOVE it!

the boys are playing basketball for the y
the joke is that daddy's goal for a few players 
is to simply have them no longer afraid of the ball 
by the end of the season
watching jacob encourage & cheer his team mates 
is a blessing
when one of the boys had his arms folded under the goal
he got hit w/ the ball
before jacob started running to the other end of the court
he checked on his team mate
then they ran together
i told him we would rather him be
a good friend & team mate
than a good basketball player

* * * * * 

friends from college
checking in on the skamfam
it means so much

* * * * *

meeting the boys' art teacher
hearing her love for Jesus!

* * * * *

 a happy heart makes the face cheerful,
   but heartache crushes the spirit.

proverbs 15:13
