Renewed Thankfulness

I know that Thanksgiving is over; however, today I have a renewed thankfulness for my friends and family. It's not that I was ever really not thankful for them, because I thank God for them every single day. It's just that, well, sometimes we forget that anybody would really care that we are hurt and suffering, and we begin to think that we're alone in this journey. Here's some background on where this post originated. This weekend, shortly after having finished interior decorating of the house for Christmas, I decided it would be a fantastic idea to overflow the toilet…

The Most Beautiful Thing

I saw the most beautiful thing yesterday. It started at a "Celebration of Life" service. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's another term for a funeral--except I would say that we celebrate the life of the deceased at this kind of service instead of mourning the loss of their presence. The lady who passed away was a friend of ours, the Sunday School teacher of all of our children, and a loving friend and mentor to many others. Proof: the church was packed. (Our church was more full for her service than it is on Christmas Eve!)…
