see the goodness

 Time away always brings my life into perspective. Today my heart is refreshed and my sight is renewed. I clearly see all the love God purposely placed into my life:

941. Husband who chose me.
942. The non-judging heart of a dear friend to listen to my ramblings.
943. Doubt that blossoms into faith.
945. Snowball fights with my children and Nana.
946. Daughter who stops every two houses to lay with her eyes to heaven, arms and legs extended wide to make snow angels.
947. Nana's laughter with the kids.
948. Snowman made for Papa.
949. Husband working in the trenches (literally) to restore the power in our home (again, literally).
950. A kind and helpful power-provider employee.
951. The know-how and helpfulness of a family friend (who is an electrician God-send!)
952. Warm lodgings, delicious steak (among other goodies!) and great company with the Shippelt family.
953. Spending an entire weekend praising God at a women's conference.
954. Safe travel on the highways.
955.Reconnections.
956. Love notes from my son.
957. Daughter telling me before she goes to sleep that she's going to dream about me.
958. Homemade stew on our season's first snowy day.
959. The sound of a good belly laugh.
960. My supportive family.
961. The road that leads me home.
