Happy Saturday, friends –
It’s been a good day here. Busy trying to get our house in order after a string of crazy weeks. It was so nice to just have some time at home. This evening I had the pleasure of a ladies night out. The United Way had a “Girlfriends Gala” benefiting Hospice of the Valley Children’s Bereavement Fund. That is a charity close to my heart right now.
I also know Kayleigh would have loved it. She loved to watch me get ready for something fancy. She liked watching me put on make up. The bigger the make-up the better, and of course you should always add glitter. And I did. I found purple and glitter – she most certainly would have approved.
As I sit in my chair, cozied up in my PJ’s I’m still wearing every bit of my makeup. It made me sad to think about taking it off. So, I’ll spend a few minutes remembering her in her bright blue eye shadow the last time we had an opportunity to dress up. I’ll remember how she loves her beautiful, blue princess dress and the “heels.” She felt so grown up that day. It’s such a happy memory.
I like this verse. It reminds me that there is such hope in our Lord. There will be grief, but He will turn my grief to joy.
John 16:20
20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
