Three weeks of our three months is now history ~ and we are blessed. Truly a gift from God to take three months off after 40 full years of ministry.
My list of thanks today are a summary of the blessings of this rest so far. Captured in photo. Click here for photos covering week 1. And view below for weeks 2 and 3. And my words - below these digital scrapbook pages.
