Where we are staying here in FL we don't have WI-FI at the house so for my blogging I have to head to the pool! So I'm sitting here at the pool on Friday morning realizing how quickly a week can go. Anne Marie Weakley gave me several books to read while here and the first one I choose is "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp and I highly recommend it. In the book she says a
life change is when we receive life with thanks and ask for nothing to change! We are all taking this vacation to give thanks in all things. Another quote, "Life is so urgent is necessitates living slow." We are trying to live slow. This southwest area of Florida is called "paradise" and we know why, however last night as a family we discussed how discouraged God must get when we consider this earth "paradise"...He must be so excited to show us eternity and the glory of paradise.
Yesterday, June 16th was Tom's brother, Terry & Joyce's wedding anniversary. We praise the Lord for His hand upon their lives and trust Him to continue to bless their lives and ministry in Bourbonnais, IL at Faith Baptist Church. We look to them and their faithfulness so often and praise our Lord. We trust their day was just as special as they are to us and we know then it was great.
The boys played a competitive tennis round.
Pirate Zac & Mermaid Sarah
Fisherman's Wharf
Dinner at the Captain's Table overlooking Charlotte Harbor...amazing!
Yesterday was a great day at Siesta Key Beach, the boys golfed and then met us at the beach then we had an incredible sunset dinner over looking the water. We are praising our Lord for His amazing grace in allowing us this special time and giving Tom the energy to enjoy it! Thank You Lord...
