I am not really celebrating Labor Day in the traditional way of picnics, the fair, a BBQ, or relaxing with a cool drink. I am getting ready for tomorrow when I will greet 23 new children into my life! 23 kids I haven't even met yet but that will impact upon me and one another in a meaningful and hopefully memorable way.
{It's really quite amazing that we always have room for more in our hearts, isn't it?}
Last night, though, when the fireworks were going off at the Fair 1 1/2 miles away, Michael, Ellie, and I walked out into our backyard for a spectacular view! In the total darkness, the greens, golds, silvers, and purple-blues lit up the sky like giant sparklers. It felt like it did when I was a kid, only better.
A lot of things lit up my summer vacation. ♥

Oh yay! I love it when we get to see fireworks from our own backyard, up in the sky... so cool. We have a minor league baseball filed not far from here, that we see works coming from now and then... always fun. ♥
And Kathy, my friend, you have the biggest heart I know... enjoy your new little ones tomorrow. I am thinking of you!

...makes me think of Psalm 23;
as if this is gonna be the year
He shows you His face as your
shepherd. He's a good one:)
