devotion

we made it thru january...phew

now spring can come...wake up pretty mistress of spring

i only give winter until mid february

then i break out the blow dryer on my roses outside.

true story.

and...

two weeks until my favorite holiday.

i wish we would all send love cards instead of christmas cards.

it takes me two full weeks to create reu's valentine

maybe i'll post pictures of the other years (later)

pretty amazing even if i do say so myself

the trick is...

once you start you have to keep it up.

commit to it.

it's a form of devotion.

people "devote" their lives to all sorts of causes...but devotion is a noun, something you own, that you give. I also believe it is an exchange...I think devotion stems from grace. that layer of love that is powerful for the sole reason that we don't deserve it...but we get it, we can see it in their eyes as they forgive. pardon. love us so fully. and in response all we can offer is our devotion. and they can see it in our eyes.

devotion.

if you don't have a clue what i'm talking about go get a dog.
