The Grand Adventure we call our life together. Life in the Air Force... The wonderful church families our hearts have knitted with around the states... Our many travels in the US and Overseas... Our hopes, dreams, aspirations, disappointments... Our special and close families and our many times together... A place for thoughts, ponderings, and just a shared life with the dear friends I have who must be far away.
From J.I. Packer's "Knowing God": "....God is love to us–holy, omnipotent love–at every moment and in every event of every day's life. Even when we cannot see the why and the wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always, even when humanly speaking, things are going wrong. We know that the true story of our life, when known, will prove to be, as the hymn says, "mercy from first to last"–and we are content." Denise, I know in times of grief it can be difficult to see/feel the Love of God through the fog that difficulties can put over the eyes of our hearts. I pray that He would give you the supernatural faith to believe in what is unseen, and feel His nearness and love to you this year. I hope this year is full of surprises and blessings from your Benevolent Father. His mercies are new every morning. Much love, Juli

Thinking about you often, as always. :)
