Recently, I've allowed myself to stop and enjoy each non-thunderstorm moment as they arise. Moments that fill my heart with joy and restore the soul in a way that I know needs repairing but had no idea where to start.
Moments like watching Grandma & Papa climb around the playground with Elliana (in February!). Climbing under equipment, having snack breaks and sliding down the slides with giddy excitement and sometimes uncontrollable laughter.
Moments like watching the joy a giant stuffed dragon can bring to my daughter's face. The joy of a balloon on a snowy Saturday morning and the excitement of a fair at the local library.
Moments like watching my daughter pose for me as I find happiness in snapping her photo over and over. I can appreciate her goofy grins and the sparkle in her eyes. I appreciate the excitement she has in seeing the newly taken photo and asking to take more.
Moments like watching Grandma & Papa climb around the playground with Elliana (in February!). Climbing under equipment, having snack breaks and sliding down the slides with giddy excitement and sometimes uncontrollable laughter. 
And moments where we just embrace life, thunderstorms and all, as a family, praising God along the way.
