Filling Our Bucket

During our ride home last night Mr. Man and I both reflected on how empty we felt. Just one of the several events of the last week could have emptied anyone's bucket. As we talked about each event and how it unfolded and affected us, we realized that during the week there were several tender mercies that came at just the right moment. A wonderful Skype chat, emails, phone calls, text messages, beautiful plants, numerous hugs, listening ears, yummy cookies, unexpected comments on my blog, helpful reminders to just breathe. Each of these tender mercies arrived at the perfect moment. Even a rainbow appeared as we headed for home. Each added upon the other re-filling our bucket little by little, even in the midst of our sadness. I was even reminded of a favorite quote "beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most."

Thank You!

We couldn't have made it through the past week without YOU!
