Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Year in Review

I've been on leave for the past year with much traveling and getting well. 

We went to four destinations last summer to Labor Day Weekend: Washington, D.C. & Roanoke, VA; West Falmouth & Martha's Vineyard, MA; Fabens, TX & Juarez, Mexico; and finally, Scottsdale & Williams, AZ... plus, the Grand Canyon by train. 

Here's one of my favorite Christmas photos of our 3 sons [Ian (9), Trevor (7) & Seth (14)-from L to R] in front of the Christmas tree. They are amazing & precious gifts to us from God.

Gratefully, I've been getting better recently. I've been ill since last November and have had 3 viruses, where one caused a low white blood count. I have never been so idle since I was a baby. God is teaching me how to offer more grace to myself & how to Rest in Him more often. Truly, an answer to my prayers.

Matthew 11:28-30 are my special life verses. Check it out...

I will try to post more often but will not make any promises. It seems that I tend to only do this once a year. Life is about seeing our progress in the following areas of spiritual, emotional, physical & mental. What are you desiring more in your life?
