Whoa, 2025.

Well, hello there!  How have you been?

We are wrapping up a very intense season of a very intense year, and it's easy (too easy) to focus on the Very Hard Things that happened in 2025.  Instead of a blow-by-blow of the many crosses we bore, how about snippets from my list of almost daily gratitudes?

 A new year and a new slate

Watching a far away child at the dance competition on YouTube

Amazing yarn shops close by, a plumber that we trust, and catching the burst pipe quickly

Supportive friends even when things don't go as planned and space to learn

A mother who is so meticulous about video!  We love watching our children perform over and over and over

That we can help our family when they need us

Clergy friends, delicious food, and beautiful weather to enjoy

Early morning head start

Great first day of school

Seeing a child turn a corner--progress

Healing 

Bad news turned to good, an answer to fervent prayer

DUTY DONE

Friends who open their home

May your 2026 be fulled with gratitude.  Glory to God for ALL things!
