Having Heather and Georgia Mae here this week has reminded me of this delightful prayer for pixie dust (especially because little Georgia Mae seems to be part fairy):
"Praying for pixie dust was an invitation for God to lavish our team
with his loving-kindness, and for each of us to walk more upright, eyes
attentive to what God might do next. You can’t pray for pixie dust and maintain
a dour demeanor or dreary disposition.
The Mary Poppins of all prayers, asking for pixie dust is hard to do
without a frolicsome smile on your face, a playful cheer in your spirit, a holy
anticipation of how God may answer." - Margaret Feinberg Wonderstruck

Praying for pixie dust is a childlike expression of trust and hope—trusting in both God’s wisdom and winsomeness, finding hope in God’s mercy and mirth.
A prayer for wonder puts you on high alert for God and His handiwork and join to God in the great plan of redemption He’s unfolding throughout the earth.
Praying for wonder invites you to turn your eyes on God. A prayer for wonder invites you to look for God under, in, and behind every bush."
Live each day like a child digging through a treasure chest, rifling for the next discovery.

Emily, looks like you gals had a great time. And so thrilled the reminder of "pixie dust" resonated so deeply with you. Praying you continue to find God's wonder all around.
