Hot water for showers, and ice water from the front of the refrigerator.
White-barked Texas Persimmon trees that decorate my property and feed the wildlife. Two-toned ground squirrels with brown and black coats. Deer who remind me my yard is really theirs.
A home that can host family and staff and gatherings. Beautiful views. Granite, granite, and more granite.
A 10-year old car with 165,000 miles that still runs great. A 13-year-old extra-long Expedition that can pick up families from the airport so the trip is more fun.
Grandchildren who think I walk on water. Children who know I don’t.
A wife who returns more love than I give. A mom who calls me son and brothers who call me “sis.” Living near my in-laws.
A family who loves being together. A daughter-in-law and son-in-law who bring joy. A wedding happening next June bringing a new joy-filled daughter-in-law. Dancing with my wife.
A home office with a view. Orchids that re-bloom. Fields that provide their own color. Bluebonnets already on their way. Bright sunlight. Cloudy days. Wind that cools.
Playing golf with friends. Bible study with friends. Going out to dinner with friends. Praying with my wife.
Staff and coaches who love each other and love what they do and are great at it. The people we get to serve, and divine dreams we’ve helped launch. Friends who pray and give and make FiveTwo go.
A generous God who loves and gives, dies and rises, fills and compels. All for us. All in us. All forever.
