As I stood at the sink finishing up dishes in a kitchen where the table was filled with friends, iced tea, littles, creativity, chatter and life...we looked at the clock.  

I laughed and told Mom, it's hardly after 10am!!

From the outside looking in, it looks like chaos. 

But, it's just life...beautiful life...

When wounds hurt, they were cleaned and covered with band-aids. 

When coffee cups and tea glasses were empty, they were refilled. 

When dogs tree a snake that would be in our path, we are safe. 

When heavy conversations are hard, laughter is welcome. 

When glass breaks, sweeping picks up the pieces. 

When tears fall, littles are held & tears wiped. 

Even though it's only the morning, the chaos is beautiful.

All the way through to the sunset of evening. 

Where help has been given.

Where empty has been refilled.

Where pieces have been picked up.

Where the day has been washed off.

And you look back and realize...

in all of the chaos 

there is light shining through.

And chaos paints a beautiful picture of light.
