Moments from the Week


a 46th birthday celebration 



Lily and Abraham



All four boys at the dinner table - Thomas came for an overnight stay last weekend.


Right now I am thanking God for each small thing as our life has been full of stress this past week - our business has been very slow for a couple of weeks, our "new" old Suburban has a hole in the gas line and the mechanic can't see it until Wednesday (we are learning contentment at home!), and many of us have a touch of some kind of virus.

During this times it helps to just slow down and be thankful for the pot of soup simmering on the stove, the order of owl pellets that arrived in the mail, and this day that promises near record warmth!

Blessings to you and wishing you a beautiful weekend,
Tonya

  4. Tonya, I am inspired that you find the grace and beauty when faced with financial stumbles. Indeed, it is a challenge to sometimes see that silver lining, but you share it here again and again and I appreciate that. I hope the virus leaves before it unpacks its bags! Have a good weekend, my friend...take the opportunity to rest ~ I'm sure you are!
