My two hands are always full these days. Carrying my two "little" boys up and down stairs and over and through gates these days is more of a hunch-scrunch-shuffle. Never mind grocery shopping, which I'm still trying to figure out how to do gracefully. Oh, and then occasionally I do something silly like try to take picture of myself
while my hands are full. You can see how well that went in these lovely pictures.
Reading this morning, I came across this little statement of gratitude to God - "You give me more than I can hold." Ha - that's me!
Every time I bumble around with hands full to overflowing with two babies, or a zillion bags of groceries, or textbooks, or laundry baskets, I'm going to try and let the awkwardness be a reminder to say, "hey, thanks God for giving me so much I can't even hold it all!"

Hey Jo!
I like this line, "Oh, and then occasionally I do something silly like try to take picture of myself while my hands are full."
It's important to make time for silly. It supplies happiness and perspective.
More-than-you-can-hold gratitude is a wonderful outlook. Nicely done!
(My co-worker's daughter is now a 6th grader at El Portal... her name? Johanna! She makes me think of you... and Grandpa Ken, who liked to pronounce your name as if it were this one.) ;-)
