Some days--some weeks--leave me in quiet awe. This has been one of those weeks, and I am so grateful.
819. Daughter who finds passion in setting others free
820. Daughter's fearless evangelism that leads a young woman to the amazing love of Christ
821. Husband who takes daughter to Austin to learn the political process, the leading and growing of a godly nation
822. A job that allows Wonder Man to be involved in out of town activities with the children
823. Time with the Wonder Boy, game playing, art doing, movie watching...heart learning
824. Too quiet rooms filled with children returned home
825. Ice cream for upset tummies
826. Hot chocolate for sore throats
827. Long drives and deep talks
828. Couches with recliners on each end where mending bodies can rest and recoop
829. Curling up close and just being
839. Cake recipes, rich in chocolate
840. Husbands who diagnose broken computer batteries
841. Warranties
842. Plungers when necessary
843. Washing machines that work even at midnight
844. New socks for Wonder Boy
845. Rain...so needed...so appreciated
846. Youth leaders that bless, encourage, and nurture tender hearts
847. Friends who believe I can do things that feel bigger than I ever dreamed of being
848. Long talks with friends, planning and dreaming
849. Conferences in the making, hearts valued and precious
850. Beloved Ann, believing in grace, rejoicing in freedom

Imagine being a parent barely able to pay bills and someone comes to your home and promises to educate your daughter and find her a job. You agree, hoping to give her a better life. Then she disappears, and you find out she is not being educated. Instead, she is a prostitute, a victim of human-trafficking, beaten and abused daily. Sounds like a nightmare, doesn't it? For 100,000 girls in India, this is reality. To find out how you can help, please visit Red Light Rescue.

Love the "heart learning" Jerri. What a blessed week you've had.
Plungers when necessary made me chuckle just a bit...
Wonderful list!
Trisha, it has been a blessed week. We live good lives, don't we, my friend? Bless you!
Alison, so good to see you! I ventured over to your blog, too. You would have really appreciated the plunger episode.
Rob and I were asleep when we hear the scream that, while heart stopping makes you thankful the child can still scream. We ran down the hall to find our 12-year daughter standing on a towel in the middle of their bathroom, and the floor is covered in water from the overflowing toilet.
She was screaming for help from her "island." Once our heart's returned to a regular rhythm, it was really funny.
Hope you have a glorious day, and I look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Blessings!
