For just a little while longer I will enjoy the peaceful sounds of the lake ~ it is beautiful outside, the doors and windows open, all the little critters singing their bedtime songs, the lake splashing against the sea-wall ~ what a tremendous blessing it has been to have all of these years here...
Any minute, Randy and Josh will be back from the grocery run, Kate and Wes will arrive with their sisters and our home will be filled with the conversations and laughter and the familiar, easy ways of the lake. This is certain to be a wonderful weekend with many new memories to add to our hearts.
Our home is beautiful, but it is that instant sense of comfort, that familiar place we can always unwind and just enjoy one another ~ I wish I knew how to express the gratitude I feel that this has been a part of our life for nearly 15 years.
So today I thank my generous and loving God for the amazing and loving ways He provides for us - healthy children who love their Lord and Savior, a strong family -knit together with bonds that cannot be broken, and for a season, this place we have come to call home.
I am not certain if this will always be a part of our lives, so I will savor every beautiful moment, every amazing sight and sound, every memory being created - really, I just love it here...
