It's the Little Things: Days 20 & 21

   I want to focus on the good things this year.
All the things people get right.
All the times that everything works out just perfectly after we assumed disaster had already struck.
All the times that the right word was spoken at the right moment.
So, let's celebrate those little moments together, shall we?

• It's a weekend that was both restful and productive. 
• It's Dan and PattyCakes enjoying taking part in the Cars and Coffee event together.
• It's Nathan recovering from a nasty bout of stomach flu and being well enough to spend most of the weekend at The Man Crew House, hanging out and laughing with Pat.
• It's a motivating sermon about a renewed enthusiasm for the things of the Lord.
• It's Pat and Dan attending the Men's Prayer Breakfast together on Saturday morning and both coming away with encouragement in their personal walks with the Lord.
• It's a weekend full of puppy snuggles and hilarity thanks to Dastroyah's puppy named Datsun, but whom we call Potato. (Our large dog Chavi is quite terrified of the little potato on short stubby legs, which is HI-larious!)
• It's a safe trip there and back from Abq for Dastroyah and his little men, who competed fiercely and brought home many medals. 
• It's cleaned out closets and a trunk full of things to donate. 
• It's sleeping in on a Saturday morning...goodness I'm enjoying my Saturdays not working at the gym, even though I miss my little friends.
• It's being invited to a girly paper crafting party and the prospect of making time for crafts part of my real life again, instead of dreaming of SOME-day. 
• It's knowing that 2 sets of "happy mail" from friends are heading my way.
• It's the way the Lord provides for our needs during this bout of unemployment. Friends giving us a large roast, Mom taking us out to lunch and then grocery shopping to thank Dan for working on her van...just to name a few.
  
  We are blessed, my friends.
  All of us.
  Even when it doesn't feel like it.
  Look around, you'll find more ways you are blessed than you can count.
