"Without even looking for it the heart of everything is all around you." ~Mama Hen
We have been getting quite a bit of snow here in New England. With the snow comes a lot of icicles. I noticed a beautiful scene at my mom's house and had to capture it with my camera. It wasn't until I looked at the pictures on my computer that I noticed a heart out of snow. I always see heart shapes in nature. When my husband and I started dating I saw a rock in the perfect shape of a heart on the beach and gave it to him saying, "You have my heart." Sure it sounds a bit sappy, but why not. I still have that heart rock. Whenever I discover these hearts I get a warm feeling inside and I feel a sense of happiness. It is almost as if they are subtle reminders from God about all the love around me. While I was taking the pictures, Little Chick and my mom came to the window and waved. My daughter beamed a radiant smile. She was so excited to see me through the window. That genuine happiness and excitement to see me, even though I never left, is something so special. It is a gift children posses that over time can fizzle out. I hope she never loses that excitement to see me and beam such a smile simply because she saw her mommy. I know I never lost that happy feeling whenever my Dad returned home from work. The love of a family and happiness to simply be together is the greatest blessing. It is where you will find a heart ever time.
My mom and Little Chick in the window.
This baby has all of my heart!
Oh, this is such a sweet post! Your mom and Little Chick look so much alike, smiling side by side together.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of God sending us love messages in the things we see around us every day. And what a lovely reminder on this day!
I agree, your mom and Little Chick look a lot alike! I think it's great that you are able to spot the message around you and the first picture is absolutely perfect! It's a good thing you and Little Chick enjoy snow because I hear another storm is hitting!
ReplyDeletethat heart shape snow is so lovely, like it was destined for you to see it to remind you of the love you have around you.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a daughter smile at you is one momentous event. I'm happy for you.
What a great eye you have, not only for the heart and for your daughter, but for all the little things in life that most people miss.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed and best thing is you don't take those beautiful moments in your life for granted.

These photos are breathtaking, esp. the heart shape in the snow! I'm always inspired how you see and share love from many angles. So precious that happiness from LC at the window!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to feel so appreciated and loved by the little one's in our life. I love it when Little Lewie's excited to watch me from the window too! The pictures of the snow heart and and ice are so pretty--what a beautiful reminder of both how much you love and are loved!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and symbolic! I hope my children don't lose that excitement either...maybe if I'm always excited to see them, then they'll always be excited to see me :)
