I am getting so excited for Maddie, she is really comming out of her shell here lately. She is letting us know when she wants attention. Let me put it into perspective for you. I was in the kitchen unpacking a box or two and she wanted my attention so she stared me down and screamed at the top of her lungs "MAMA" only she kept repeating it until I looked at her and then she would smile, then as I went back to working she would start the process over again and at breakfast time, she said what appeared to me to be thank you (of course it wasn't clear, but that is baby talk for you)
Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be
Prescious!
