A Day of Sabbath with Gran and Pop

Last week we had so much fun including my parents into our Sabbath journey. It was so much more than just a family showing their inlaws a good time in Boulder. Take a look. . .


We started the day once again at our favorite breakfast spot, The Original Pancake House. Can't beat it!

Then together we went to the hardware store, the grocery store, the spice store and the candy store. We did all of these things not because we had any specific reason for going. . .but just because. . .we stopped and tasted coffee beans, ate almonds, smelled flowers, enjoyed candy, smelled spices, walked slowly and basked in the sunshine of a perfect fall day. . .just because.









Then we finished the afternoon with a trip to the Humane Society. NO - not because we adopted a dog! No, no, no. Claire just loves it - so we went.

But I have to say that coming home was probably the best part. It was about a 25 minute discussion around our kitchen table that made the day complete. Each girl was asked to find a verse in the Bible, share it with everyone and then tell why they liked it so much. And then they wanted Gran and Pop to do the same thing. What a joy it was to listen to grandparents reading scripture to their grandkids and then taking time to teach them and share their hearts about why God's Word meant so much to them. It was priceless - another moment I'm so glad I didn't miss.

Thanks, God! You never, ever, ever disappoint. I love how we are together learning how to enjoy you.
