This week of Chilean independence celebrations has truly been a gift to our family. The slower pace, the time off school and work, the opportunity to spend time with friends and one another has rested and encouraged us. "Whimsy" means "playfully quaint or fanciful behavior or humor" and I like to think we have had our playful times and plenty of humor as well! Thank You, Lord, for the blessing of TIME.
