I had an incredible weekend away with my husband…a very rare treat fore the two of us!
It was a whirlwind trip, though…driving over sixteen hours in three days. We were able to see family, friends, ride the metro (always an adventure), walk around the National Mall, and participate in the Army Ten Miler Race (he ran…I watched an cheered).
God’s blessings have been so evident all week as I have sought to see them and praise Him for them.
I know that there are so many that I miss throughout the day. Can we ever praise Him or thank Him enough? I don’t think so.
My list of blessings is longer this week because I was intentional about jotting them down, more intentional than I have been in a long time. But, still, with this longer list, I know it just scratches the surface of how God has worked in my life this past week.
