In the Perkins family we believe that life is made up of the little everyday things. Things like enjoying a sensational cup of tea, Manny seeing his face in the mirror for the first time, or finding a bush turkey under the deck. Even though we delight in the little things it is often the big things that end up in letters and emails (Chris has a cold, I almost stepped on a snake - all the boring stuff). These Joyful Jottings are going to change all of that. So we invite you, dear friends and loved ones, to share in some of our precious everyday moments as a family. Enjoy!

Another milestone!
I had a beautiful photo shoot with Manny one day, and the entire memory card corrupted. I was so upset! And I asked a very silly question, "Why in the world do small, miserable inconveniences happen and why does God allow them?" I reminded myself that if this were a perfect world it would be heaven, and I'd end up being the next Eve by eating the fruit anyway (because I'm just that stupid), so I sucked in my breath and decided to find a way to fix the card and take another photo shoot.
I propped Manny up and held onto his back with my right hand while attempting to use the camera with my left. Right in the middle of a photo I realized something! Manny had shuffled away from my hand and was sitting up by himself! I snapped this photo quickly and rejoiced to have it on record. I could just imagine the Lord smiling knowingly at me and saying, "Child, this is why I allowed you to have a corrupt camera card! I had something much sweeter in store for you!"
Again I am reminded of the Lord's goodness, His lovingkindness and His continuous patience. He truly knows the desires of my heart. Thank you Lord, for knowing what is best for me even when I don't understand.
