2 Corinthians 9:6-11

  

planning

personal goals for the new year

a rhythm and routine for housework & lessons

thankful for

twenty-two years of marriage to the perfect man for me

international flights that bring missionary daughters home

a husband that gets into the car at 9:30 at night for a 7-hour round trip at a moment's notice when 18year-old daughter's flight from chicago to austin is cancelled and she calls tearfully saying they can put her on a flight to houston, but she can't fly out of there until the next morning, and she just wants to come HOME

asthma meds

 one last week of some "down time"

thinking of

my daddy who died in 2002 and my mama who lives almost 2000 miles away and has advanced alzheimer's and how much i miss them both
