.............sometimes stressful........sometimes higher expectations than need be......
................sometimes forgetting to savor the Savior........
but...setting aside a weekend day to treasure some treasures He gives......
always adding to the thousand gifts list from Him........
~~the treasure of my eldest girl......my college girl.....enfolding her in huge hugs at the inlaws house......ready to take her home but needing to spend some time with them......treasures themselves......my husband's parents.....precious people......

~~ the treasures of hand-knit scarves by hands old and veined.....but still working strong....forming gifts of beauty for my young beauties.....the treasure of a Grammy T...........the warmth, laughter, love.......
