I was much more tired and achy by the time we got home. We know now (thanks to such a great advice from my pals who have experience in this area!) that the best thing to do is to rest and give my body time to adjust to what's going on. I will probably be taking a few days at home to recuperate, and hope to be back at it very soon!
I read this devo today; it really applies to all of us. We cannot control the circumstances that come into our lives - but we can always control our attitude and response. No matter what is happening, we can choose to find the good, something positive in the situation. It is a much better way to live!
"I think that many times we let what should be extremely special to us—things we should be extremely grateful for—become too commonplace. Several years ago, I was “prayer murmuring” to the Lord (praying but kind of murmuring at the same time), and I said, “Lord, why don’t I have those exciting, special things happen in my life like I used to when I first started to know You?” I’ll never forget what the Lord spoke to my heart so clearly. He said, “I still do the same things all the time, it’s just that you’ve gotten used to it.” Ouch! I believe that if we’ll stay amazed at the things God is doing in our lives—even the little things—we’ll never be without hope. I encourage you to realize what you have, be thankful, and decide to live amazed…jaw-dropping, wide-eyed, “Wow! That was God!” amazed." - Joyce Meyer
Thought I would end this with a look at some pictures from this journey - we have so much to be thankful for!
