Today's Gratitudes

I spent the weekend at a church women's retreat. I'm grateful for time with lovely close friends and grateful for deep, honest friendships. There were also many women there that I did not know or only knew by name. What a pleasure to meet some of them. And, again, I'm humbled that so many of these women have been faithfully praying for me and, though I'm a stranger to them, have offered to help with childcare and meals. What an amazing church family!

It's Valentines Day, which also reminds me how grateful I am for Husband. February 14th is our half anniversary -- 17.5 years now. I am reminded of God's faithfulness and of all the lessons I have learned through marriage about His perfect love. And what a blessing for Husband and I to have married young and experienced our own and each other's emotional and spiritual growth over the years. We have grown up together in many ways.
