Maybe for you it's just another week in history... For us it's much more.
In addition to the numerous birthdays our neighborhood has recognized in the past 7 days, one large landmark keeps us thanking our Father...
When we moved to this little place we call "Sweetwater" 10 years ago this week, we had no idea what we were getting into. We only knew that Heaven had some surprises in store... and ready or not, we were on our way!
It can truly be said that we've "grown up here". Never before have we stayed in one place so long... But durational roots are not what bind our hearts here. We're bound by a love for our Father that has grown, and a love for each other that has deepened because of the many moments - easy and hard - that are now behind us.
We love it here because it is here we learned to love...
And tomorrow we'll wake up to the first day of the next 10 years.
Oh Lord Jesus, teach us yet more... We really do love You.
