...when I walk into the kitchen
A Miss Gracie,
who is still in her PJ's,
hair not done,
and painting
"This one is my all red with circles Mummy"
"This one is my garden with sun shining on it Mummy,
and I think this one is the best"
"and this one is a pattern"
I just adored the way my dd (6) had set up the table and was talking away with all kinds of stories while she was creating what she was seeing in her minds eye.
How wonderful to just choose to paint, to be free to create and encouraged to express her abstract art.
Thankful today for my children being home,
to be free to be who God made them,
and even though I feel unappreciated
at times, I 'know' that one day,
the rewards will be there,
and the thank yous will come.
