We are wrapping up a wonderfully relaxing, lazy and much needed week at the beach. It was just what the doctor ordered after the busy holiday season. We have loved every minute of it. Much of our time has been spent in our PJ's playing games and watching old movies. When we have managed to get dressed, we have thrown on our swimsuits and hit the beautiful beach. We even managed to take in a few day trips to some of the most beautiful places we have seen thus far in Panama. All in all, it has been just about perfect family time. I am so grateful for this sweet family of mine and have enjoyed the get away from everyday life.
Today we have spent time reflecting on 2011 and all that God has allowed us to experience. We talked about our favorite memories of the year and all of the wonderful blessings of 2011. Then, we talked about the challenges and hard times 2011 brought. We remembered that in their own ways, they were blessings too. We were even able to see "good things" that have already come out of some of those challenges. We talked about faith and trust and how to be thankful for the good and bad.
So, we have kind of closed out 2011 and are now looking forward to what God has in store for 2012. More on that soon.......
