Today has been so fun!! The first day of a few days away, and the first trip we have taken since we went on a delightful trip to Northern California last July, one year ago.
One year ago. A lot has happened in one year!
I found a picture from our vacation last year, and when I put it next to a picture from today, I felt a little sad. Sad because this year has aged me. Sad for the me of last summer; she had no idea what was ahead.
Tony showed me a picture today that he took when I came out of eye surgery in April. I was face down and bald. Funny thing - when I looked at the me in that picture, I felt so much better! That might seem strange - but the picture reminded me of so many things that God has taught me this past year. How I had an opportunity to rest after the eye surgery. Of how far we've come - through some difficult days. Of the mercy He has shown us. Of all the blessings He has given us. Of how people have loved us and prayed for us.
Perspective is important. Seeing the good in the hard times is valuable. God is with us, every step of the way.
“Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.”
Psalms 143:8 NLT
