I hope y'all had a lovely Memorial Day. My family had a mix of busy and relaxing all weekend. We got to spend time with dear friends beside a beautiful lake. We even got to eat s'mores around a campfire. It was wonderful.
We also had a pipe burst under our floor and had to make a temporary fix to stop the water. We have gone from two toilets to one for six people. I keep reminding myself it's just for a few days. The good news is the sink and shower still work.
Sometimes it feels like everything that can go wrong, does. It's important to focus on what is going right as much as possible. Sometimes, in the moment, that's very difficult. I have to remind myself how blessed I am.
This weekend was focused on remembering those that have served our country, and we should always remember our freedom was not free. It was paid for in blood, in grief,  in great sacrifice.
Now that the weekend is over, I would like to take time to remember how blessed I am. In the day to day whirl of activity, it's easy to lose sight of that.
I thank God for all He's blessed me with. And I thank Him for being with me and strengthening me as I walk through the hard times.
