gratitude, #458 – 479.

back home after eight days away

open windows and sunshine and a fresh-air breeze this afternoon

the second load of laundry in

David did a Thom’s run and stocked us up on diapers and groceries and fruits and veggies

Pizza Hut delivery in South Asia

our kids squealing in their bathtubs

we peeked in and found both of them squeezed into one tiny bathtub

Amie prayed at dinner tonight

Jesus loves it when Amie talks to him

my new apron (my first apron)

Anju is coming tomorrow!

talking to my mom on the phone

Love Walked Among Us, just as good the second time around

a friend who just put a care package in the mail

reminders that those back home haven’t forgotten us

David’s camera-lens view of our world

new friends up north

hearing from seasoned missionaries that these overwhelmed feelings are normal

I was happy to see our apartment today
