Hard Pressed but Not Crushed

Do you ever feel like this?

When there are so many things pressing in together at the same time and you just want to 'pop' out of things for a bit and catch your breath? (very corny I know...haha)

I am glad my Heavenly Father knows the stuff I am made of and I am "hard presed on every side but not crushed" (2 Cor 4:8).

There is joy and laughter at home to be treasured and not taken for granted:

Here's a happy album full of happy times to keep close to heart on those 'pressing' days. (Warning, lots of photos ahead....I've had a lot of happy times - haha)

cover is transparency over a canvas book (love that chubby boy!)

 inside cover

All the pages are misted:

rainbow mist

 misted sun rays

bubbles in water

 made by misting over eyelets

 misted sky

 sunset... with stickles

 raindrops...

Despite the pressures of life, we've got many reasons to smile and be thankful yes?
