Today’s “all the better” moment was inspired by a poem. 

Yesterday, as I read the poem “Little by Little” with my children, I had one of those special moments. You know, the kind where your brain is stunned for a moment, wrapping itself around words and thoughts.

Man, those are great moments. 

With all that has been going on in the world, I was suddenly in this very still breath of air, completely surprised by a feeling of hope. 

God reminded me that there is hope in Him–no matter the situation. He sees this little family. He sees us in our daily efforts.

He. Sees. Us.

I thought about my children someday, as giant oak trees, with their strong roots, and I was absolutely “all the better” for it. 

What has made you “all the better” this week? I’d love to know. 

By the way, here is a beautiful excerpt from “Little by Little.”
