January 29

This is a picture of optimism.

Our rainy season has lacked rain. But that didn't stop the Little Boys from taking their umbrellas to pick-up this afternoon. They whirled them and twirled them and walked along like it was indeed pouring down rain. That kind of imagination inspires me.

But that wasn't the only reason this came across as a God wink to me. As we walked across the pavement back toward the car, I paused when I heard music coming from underneath Brady's Dusty Crophopper canopy. I bent over for a stolen listen, and recognized the words to The B-I-B-L-E.

I love it when they sing, especially when they don't know I can hear them.

Small things, but they're everything.
