As I sat down and caught up on all your wonderful blogs, I wanted to text you and tell you they were wonderful...but then I realized you are not in the country to text :( But I am overjoyed and thankful for where you are- in the USA- drinking starbucks, eating blue bell icecream, driving on wonderfully paved roads, shopping till your hearts content (in a mall, not a maket) and visiting countless friends and dear family! I love you dearly and miss you- am looking forward to your return- when we can meet for coffee and prayer, and you can love on Audrey more. Blessings dear friend!

"Thankful. And here is the list to prove it." -- oh, that makes me smile.

Simple things---but oh, the breeze of His love: cardboard boxes, birthday presents, pain-free days.

Seeing and thanking with you. I want to dance with Joy --in love with Him!

I send love,
Ann

Today I am smiling over Hope and a definite plan -- hope is a definite plan, yes? ~warm smile~

A privilege to praise Him with you,
