Sending hugs to you, friend.

Love you, girl! (And, really, we need to hit the Chiang Mai Night Market one more time in our lives, don’t you think???) (((hugs)))

It really is amazing when we think back to the events surrounding the birth of Christ to realize that Mary & Joseph were real people, going through a normal pregnancy. I have loved that Luke puts it into perspective for us women….”Mary, who was obviously pregnant” (NLT). To me that said it all, she went through the bloat, the unable to see her feet & strap up her own sandals. the feeling of being big as a house. The only difference was the One she would birth. May we have eyes which see new wonders this Advent season. Love this post!

When these things happen in life, it’s great when we can get the greater perspective. These little temporary inconveniences have a way of either pushing us deeper into a pit or giving us eyes to see the blessings all around us.

I am sorry your van failed you – again. I don’t have a caravan, but my mini-van has also been giving me problems, so I related. I am glad it is all fixed now, AND that you were able to have it fixed.
