Joy!

What's better?

What's better than knowing you're loved? My family surprised me with a wonderful birthday. In the midst of all the fun, I had an overwhelming sense of how loved I am. Then, this past weekend they helped me serve the women who came to the Time to Soak retreat. I couldn't have done it without them! The best part was, I knew they really believed in what I was doing and saw the value and importance of it. Now today is full of laughter with their good friends Abby and Matthew. Wednesday some more friends come, and Saturday Sam and Shannon come to celebrate Easter with us. Needless to say, today I cleared out the shelves at Meijer. This is rather a rambling blog entry, so let me go back to my original thought: it's good to know you're loved. In fact, you are loved! "For God so loved the world..." That includes you!
