A new beginning.
365 grace-filled days ahead.
365 days have past. Mistakes have been made. Some goals have not been met. But it's done. We now have the opportunity to try once again to get it right. Or at least more of it right.
2013's greatest blessing: Joseph Christian Harrill
It is amazing how your family feels complete and yet another is added making you wonder how you ever considered your family complete without this one.
Another blessing - My husband is still cancer-free.
Yet another - the wonderful elementary school full of people who love my boys and are doing a great job in educating them at this time when our home is too crazy for them to focus. And for being honest with me about their apprehensions of what they might face with homeschooled children who hadn't been in school for several years. And how their test scores and behavior have proven what a great job that I strived to do in giving them a quality education.
Another blessing is the Moms group at church that supported us generously and tangibly with our new addition. As well as my aunt who took a couple days of work in the middle of the week (the thing that I thought was an impossibility to even ask for) and came to stay with my older children while I was in the hospital.
We were blessed with 17 years of canine love. Our elderly chihuahua had to be let go. Several weeks later, we still find ourselves expecting to see him cleaning up something the children dropped from the table. I find myself checking to make sure the toddler isn't in the dog's bowl.
We are blessed with a couple of stray kittens. They have made Tito's absence a bit easier. It's been nice to feed and care for a couple of half-starved strays and see them grow and become healthier each time we open the door.
We are blessed to be where we truly feel at home. We are blessed with innumerable family and friends. We are blessed beyond measure. Whatever didn't get done in 2013 is really of no consequence. It was plenty full!
Here's to a great 2014!
