We have lived through a difficult season of life. Still living through it, actually. We have nothing firm under our feet. Our world is one strong wind away from being blown off the map.
I realized that until recently, about a hundred years or less, this is how the vast majority of people lived. In the large frame of history we are not unique. This is a helpful perspective.
I am thankful for much in my life. I am thankful that my husband and I are still a team even after everything we have been through. I’m thankful for my respectful and thoughtful children. I’m thankful for parents and close friends who encourage me and build me up.
I am also thankful for the opportunity to write here on this little blog and have so many people checking in and commenting. You have no idea the encouragement you have all been to me.
So today I say to you –
Numbers 6: 24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
