Mood

Glad that it’s Friday! Made it through one week. It definitely felt longer than usual. We could NOT have asked for a more beautiful night. Our family, along with our neighbors, lingered outside for a while, enjoying the great weather. Peanut and LittleBit are finding their way to being best friends again…this makes my heart happy.

Prayer

Abba Father, there is much to learn from this experience of being forced into a much slower-paced life. Help us to soak them in, deep into our hearts. Amen.
