Cover of the Book Day!
Yup it’s made up, I made it up just now! Since there are so many made up holidays I am making my own!
Beaver and I liken our kiddos’ stories and our family journey to a book. Not everyone gets to read it. In fact, most only get to see the cover! Some actually care enough they get to read the back and learn a little more. Some get to see the summary or intro page. While others are afforded peeks at certain chapter we reveal and those closest, most trusted, see the whole story.
As we look back at our story we see our Village throughout the pages! The times when the ink runs dry or the words are hard to find you’ve helped write our story with infusions of love, prayers, safe spaces, brave spaces, spaghetti casseroles, a load of laundry, a hand to hold or to pass a tissue, or to laugh with us at absurdities that others can’t even fathom nor would they even find it the slightest bit funny!
Soo..Cover Day inception….
Here we are in a new chapter of…. adult….ish! It’s a different, interesting and often a fun and difficult one to navigate for all of us.
And today (yesterday now) I was in a place where the ink was dry….as in the past months people, who don’t deserve to even read the cover, have been cruel and others have taken advantage.
So, here’s to you Cover People who, at a glance, think you understand what is inside and judge and act without even caring to read the back cover to gain a tiny bit more insight and perspective, it’s okay though you don’t deserve to read it, we understand it’s not for everyone! Bless your hearts 💕 (I can say that with intention now since I’m kind of a southerner 😂)!
For those who’ve made it this far, welcome to the ever evolving summary!
This is my boy, our boy!! Such a great kid…most of the time…(🤣IYKYK🥰) and we love him, ALL of the time!
He is a full-time college student and a Veterinary Assistant a local Animal Clinic. He is tender hearted, kind and therefore often loves pets more than people as the level of acceptance and understanding from the former is greater! He is active in church, striving for acceptance and also wanting to learn more about Jesus and how to serve Him.
Austin Jonathan, we pray for you to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and discernment. We pray you continue grow to love all of God’s creation (even humans in all of their…human-ness) And again, discernment…of those who get to be close enough to understand certain chapters and those who need to be kept as Cover People!
