you didn't even know you were thinking or feeling a certain way and then you come across ssomething and you say OHMYGOSH that was written for me.

Dear Friend

I got this in my in box Monday.
I love Max Lucado. He has a way with words that is simply amazing.
He writes children's books that can make me weep-I think I am turning into my mother when I say stuff like that. But it's the truth and I dig my mom, so that is good.
Hope it makes you say....WOW!

Ordinary days...

Anne registered for kindergarten-CHECK!
Anne's big girl birthday present bought and ready to give to her on Sunday-CHECK! (will divulge later...)
Anne turns 5, Sunday-CHECK!
Mom a mess???-CHECK!
*On another note...*

Poking around on some blogs I check often, I found this.
It was quite touching.
I am a firm believer of 'ordinary days'.
I have the best memories from my childhood of 'ordinary days'.
Memories usually aren't planned and perfectly carried out, more often then not, they just happen.
I pray that our children can think back of all the 'ordinary days' that our family had, that turned into lifelong memories...
