In the tinkling of the chimes…

In the tinkling of the chimes…

by Jennifer Frisbie | Dec 16, 2017 | Faith, His Plan, Learning as I go

Growing up I could never understand the fascination behind having wind chimes. To me, they were noisy, unusual, and I always thought of them as something appealing to the over 65. But when we moved into our first home, starting a chapter as husband and wife, the...

Such a big thank you to @spillmycup for driving the distance to take these pictures for Lillian’s senior year. She’s pursuing a degree in Library and Information Science so the library pic is a favorite! These are just beautiful! ❤️ #lilliannicole #senioryear

“There may be days when you grow weary of climbing and you long for flatter terrain, but the slopes are overlaid with tremendous purpose. God uses them to tilt us toward the light, to drain the sludge from our hearts with spring rains, and offer us a view of the landscape that will one day turn into vision.” -Beth Moore Parenting can sometimes feel like a means to an end. A great pressure to get every day “right” in the eyes of some human who is keeping score. It could be us. It could be our friends. It could even be our kids. But no matter who’s watching, the eyes of heaven are the only ones that matter. And it’s those eyes that can take the less than perfect days - the ones that feel so uphill - and turn them into a vast landscape of purpose. We trust, through written promise, that the hard days serve us in ways the easy ones never could. Horace Mann once wrote that each hour was set with sixty diamond minutes. Hours lost with no reward. It’s shocking just how few of these hours we truly have with our arrows before we’re required to release them, yet I can’t agree with the lack of reward. There are moments lost for sure. Minutes wasted over argument or indecision, loss of opportunity or a lack of time well spent. But all are woven into precious delight and unapologetic gladness. A culmination of nearly two decades of dedication to the ones we love as we prepare them for the road ahead. How bittersweet as we experience the last days of adolescence before the dawn of adulthood. A vision we have waited so long, yet truly so very little, to see… #raisingarrows #lilliannicole #senioryear
