what a difference a week (or two) makes!

A soaking rain is falling right now here in southeast Tennessee. The skies are dark and dreary. A good day for reading a book, cleaning a closet, starting a sewing project.

How different my life was a week ago! Strolling along the Caribbean, holding my grandbaby, chatting with my kids, being waited on hand and foot (not by my kids though...)

part of the Mariachi band that played after the wedding - they were so good!

our resorts - we stayed at the one on the left - the newly weds were at the one on the right

the pool with the ocean view just beyond

Just as different today is from a week ago...so was the week before that (terribly constructed sentence, but I think you know what I mean).

A week before the wedding, Dad was still in the hospital battling a potentially life-threatening infection. Yesterday, the surgeon told him he was doing very well. Thank you, LORD!

We never know, do we? Our lives can change so drastically from one minute to the next. Best to be thankful for every moment and live each to the fullest. Give glory to God in each and every circumstance.

I just received a text from Daniel...he is on his way to Florida for the third wedding of the summer. One in Canada, one in Mexico, one in Florida. Way to cover North America, Daniel!

We pray for his safe travel, as well as for the newlyweds who are winging their way home today from Cancun. A week ago they were single, now they are married and so excited to be starting their new life and establishing their new home together.

So many changes. Kinda makes my head spin. One constant: God's love. And the marvel of watching how He works in our lives.
