Well a new year has arrived....in uncharacteristic quiet fashion at house! Dave and I just played our newest game, Sequence, into the new year, and reflected on the journey that God brought us on this past year! A year ago Dave was just returning to work fultime after his burnout, we were planning the wedding of our youngest child(our third wedding in less than three years) and we had no idea what all the changes would mean for us and our family. We rejoiced at His faithfulness and rest in the knowledge that faithful is He who has called us regardless of what this new year holds!
Tonight we thanked God for our awesome kids...Jamie and Megan we thought of you as you spend your last night there in Michigan with Megs' family. We love you both and are so glad that you are so committed to family! Thanks Brian, Nancy and Ben for sharing them with us too! We understand only too well how hard it will be for you to say Goodbye to them again later today.
Heather and Matt, it was so fun having dinner at your place last night with Oma and Opa...you do an awesome job of having guests, and you definitely have the gift of hospitality! Tikka and Milo just add to the ambiance of your log cabin in the woods...we love it! Thanks for opening your home to us! It was definitely a memory, not just for us, but for Oma and Opa too....their first meal at the home of Grandchildren!
Jody and Darin, thanks for sharing your first Christmas as a married couple with us, the Beck Clan. Thanks to Donnie and Trudy and the Miles family for sharing them with us even though we know you missed them. It was so good having you both up here and to be able to relate as couples to one another. We treasure the memories in our hearts and will be praying for you as you continue to search out God's heart for your future direction. Saying Goodbye was hard, but made easier because of the good times we had!
God is so good, all the time! Through the good times and the difficult....blessed be the name of the Lord!
