The Day’s End

Daddy and son, sleeping soundly

www.ThisNest.com

It’s such a long hard day that brings them to this place – the oldest and the youngest Sparrows. Daddy spending countless hours driving, delivering, loading and unloading…all a labor of love for his family. Baby spending those same amount of hours running, dancing, coloring, laughing and crying…all a part if his toddler journey.

Still, at the end of the day, once even the sun has decided it’s time to rest – it is right here on our old brown couch that the separate days’ journeys have melted into the very same place. Evidence of their hard work still visible…the bigger Sparrow still in part of his uniform, and the smaller Sparrow still wearing the dirt and marker ink that somehow show up on him day after day.

I thank You, Lord, for this amazing sight to behold…and for all the blessings that brought these two here – to this couch, to this home, and to this grateful woman’s heart.
