Good gifts

This day has been full. Full of many good things. Mostly, I am full of gratitude for the opportunity to be a wife and a mother. My children are a blessing. They played beautifully at their recital, but more importantly, I got to watch them serve others. I get to be the wife of a man who loves God, his children, and me. He leads us well. He gently urged me to run away from home today: so I got to have a wonderfully painful adventure, not the one I had planned but an even better one. I am thankful to my God for the heaping of good things that are on my plate today.
