824. For rest. The real kind of rest that reaches down into my bones and allows my mind and heart to connect.
825. For precious friends who listen and do not feel the need to speak, but when they do feel the need to speak are not afraid to say the hard things.
826. Strong women who grow more beautiful each year and have learned through time to be gentle to themselves.
827. For my husband who graciously protects my time for me, and without complaining lets me go to be refreshed.
828. For my Lord, who meets me every year and gently whispers in my ears of His love for me.
829. For dear friends who love my family while I am away.
830. I am glad to be home.
