Obviously, I have many pictures to upload from the last week -- our travels to visit my family, and so on.  For now, I want to say that I am thankful for my husband.  We celebrated his birthday this week.  He's one of those who gets to share his birthday with the after-Christmas clean-up routine.  But he doesn't complain.  And he's worth celebrating.  God's given me a sweet soul as my life partner.  My kids and I are sure blessed to have him. I am struggling with feeling insufficient.  As a wife, mother, friend.  His grace is sufficient for me.  I am so grateful that His strength is made perfect in my weakness. God showed us such kindness in bringing us home in the car that needed to be repaired. More soon.  Goodnight, friends.
