April Showers...

So here we are. already halfway into the month of April…how did this happen so quickly? Unlike the place I grew up, April does not bring with it rain in Florida. We are experiencing breezy summer-like days with flowers blooming and the earth turning green before us. In our marriage, our experience has been similar this month. The Lord is growing new life in our midst and we are enjoying a time of peace and refreshing joy. Our newest little blessing is halfway here and we are preparing our family for his arrival! One of the lessons we have learned during this time has been to live a life of gratitude. We take in moments with each other. Moments with our children. Moments in deep worship to the Lord. We are ever so grateful for the atonement we have received through Christ's sacrifice allowing us to experience life abundantly. Do we own a lot according to society's standards? Not at all. But we sense the glorious riches Paul talked about in Scripture. We have been one for exactly four and a half years now. It has not been without pain, but it has certainly been worth very minute!
