We had the awesome opportunity to watch five boys for a sweet couple who went on a marriage retreat this weekend! Aside from a couple of them still being awake at midnight Friday night, the weekend was a great success! It was really fun and a blessing to us to be able to give a little bit to a couple in need. So many people have blessed us in so many ways over the last 3 years of deployments and other hard times. I asked God to let us bless someone in need and He brought this family to us just a few days after I asked! Moral of that story: don't ask for something unless you really want it! We did.
David has been a huge help in the kitchen and in every way. We were a great team this weekend. I can't put into words the joy and amazement I am experiencing being David's wife in person! As we both grow and change, so does our relationship and our roles. Living together is new and exciting, and so rewarding.
So, where do we sit tonight exactly? We sit high upon such a pile of blessings of which His grace and love sent in His Son is the greatest, but so many wonderful little things as well--laughter, a messy house that everyone worked together to clean up, pizza, a family secure in Christ. We have more than we could ever ask or dream.
