(Because we got married right after New Year’s, it has usually been difficult to save up money for a getaway so close to the holidays. So we have only done a getaway for our anniversary one time and it was our first anniversary. ) As we discussed planning a vacation, we went back and forth between leaving James for a couple days with relatives or friends..or taking him with us.

I hope it’s a blessing to you all!  When the world says all the work I do is not enough, When my mind says my failures must have chased away your love, When my heart is a reflection of the troubles of the day, Even then, Help me say That all the strivings of my heart Will never fill the empty part Where you belong. And when I work, or when I rest, Or when I fail to give my best Your cross reminds me I’m secure and I’m accepted-even then. I can never fall away for I am held secure Yes I know this truth but still I walk in fear. When this inner conflict tries to drag me from your Grace, Even then, I will bow and I will say That all the strivings of my heart Will never fill the empty part Where you belong. And when I work, or when I rest, And when I fail to give my best Your cross reminds me I’m secure and I’m accepted-even then.
