August 2

Abby likes to tell me what she sees in the clouds. Much of the time, she talks about billowy white flowers and bunnies and horses. When we looked up to the heavens this evening, she saw a collection of circus animals (we'd just finished watching Madagascar 3), while I saw a heart:

Of course, we all see different images when we look at clouds. And many times, what we see is directly influenced by our experiences (like Abby's circus animals). But sometimes, I think they're also sweet little messages from God.

After all, we can all use a little more love in this life.
