Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Where to Start?

How about at the beginning and in parts:)
I was blessed to be able to take almost 2 weeks to travel with Erinn to move her to Fort Hood, Texas.

The first day we traveled 12 hours to arrive in beautiful Santa Barbara where we were able to spend a wonderful day and a half with Danielle and Ryan.
Danielle took us on a tour of Ronald Reagan's ranch in the foothills of Santa Barbara.
Danielle is an assistant curator with Young America's Foundation who is working on preserving some of Reagan's legacy through preserving his ranch and an interactive gallery in Santa Barbara, which Danielle has been privileged to be a part of.
Here Erinn and I are at the entrance of 'Rancho Del Cielo"

We are not allowed to take pictures inside the building, but this is the pond and the grounds.
It is wonderful to get a personal tour and hear Danielle's excitement about her work as she shares about his man and his contributions to the world.
The time with my older children is precious. It was so fun to be with them both together just hanging out and sharing about life and lessons we have learned together.

Though I miss all three of my older children as they have flown from home....

I know this is what it is all about.

Loving them, helping them grow, showing them the love of a Saviour who will never leave them.

What more can a mom ask than that her children walk with the Lord and serve Him.

What a blessed time:)
