We took a little time away from the family/shopping/eating focus of the weekend. Curled up together for a nap and some time to talk about the many blessings in our lives.
It's easy to be so caught up in what's wrong, what we regret, that we forget all the reasons we have to give thanks.
We read through many of the note cards filled out for the prayer pocket of Kevin's blanket. Prayers, jokes, scripture readings, poems. Wonderful gifts from many people, known and unknown. Friends and friends of friends. The chaplain and inmates of a state correctional facility. Family.
Their prayers for Kevin and their prayer requests.
These gifts of prayer--and the opportunity for us to pray for their needs--are truly a blessing this year. We are thankful and humbled to receive such generosity.
