i have more than one note in my journal referencing the "seventeen people" that "were praying" for us.
i don't want to forget. i want to bear witness.
on the morning of the kids' first day of school here in mid-january, i was telling them that i hoped it would be a great day.
"it will be, mom," maddie told me with great assurance.
"how do you know it will be?" i asked her.
"because," she said, "like seventeen people are praying for us."
i smiled. so did my heart.
and i said, "oh, i think there are more than seventeen."
so. if you are one of our seventeen people, if you have prayed for us through our move and our new starts and getting settled and started and finding our niches, thank you. you are so very dear to us. and your prayers are felt and noticed and have availed much.
continue to go gently, love fiercely, and be wonderful, dear ones.
love, e
