Thank you, Steve and Gwen, the balanced ‘reporting’ of your life and the encouragement to me to ponder the balance of beautiful and brutal in my own. Safe travels.

So beautiful in so many ways. Inner and outer. Holding the past, the present and the future all at the same time. That is real. That to me is indeed Kingdom living at its fullest. Blessings to you and your comings in and goings out and to the wonderful legacy you are living in and leaving in your wake - that of living, truly living, fully alive and full of gratitude and generosity.

I'm smiling here. Am I actually writing back a note! forgive me:-). Just loving your visit, seeing your memories made with those sweet grands, and the amazing adult kids. Loving all your remembered times and new moments. So happy for you. The fun and sun put life in your bones. Feeling sadness for the heaviness that awaits you. Sometimes it is just back and forth. I know you are cherishing it all. And Tampa awaits you. Thanking the Lord, and praying forward. lovelovelove
