I love volunteering for a week and I find myself so grateful for my job…
The warmth of the little bit of sun was glorious and the winter air felt refreshing…
I loved being with our team and sleeping with six other women in a bunk room and the quiet of my own room feels luxurious…
It was fun to meet some of the families we assisted and I realize we really know very little about the stories of those we assisted….
I enjoyed doing devotions with our group each day and I found it refreshing to journal tonight without a template…
We arrived home today after a 20 hour drive. I am thankful for much and I am ready to return to my routine. I am full of gratitude for new opportunities and an invitation to serve in new ways. I have my suitcase unpacked and I am still unpacking the lessons I learned this week. I learned some about others and more about myself. I am reminded of God’s kindness and love….
I am thankful that God invites me to fill my heart with many thoughts and experiences, even if they do seem to feel opposite or even conflicting at times.
But for now, I am going to sleep and delight in being in my own bed.
More later….
I had wondered if you were able to get something done because of the weather. But it sounds and looks like you did…
Trish, I am so thankful you made it home safely. I did pray for you a lot, especially when the weather became so unusual and unpredictable! Love the pics and love your heart!!! b
