the retreat that I am going on this week from late Thursday to Sunday in a city oustide of Lima called Ica. We are only taking the baby.
the opportunity to "sand board" and/or ride dune buggies in the sand during the retreat.
my good friend, Kelley, who will keep two of our boys while the two girls stay here with Maria.
for the gummy worms I found in Wong. They remind me of my childhood.
for the fact that I am 3 lbs. from my high school weight.
for sweet comments on my blog.
for a marriage of 13 years that almost didn't make it past two.
for Maria's very encouraging comments yesterday about our family. I had been praying that God would send someone to encourage me and remind me that somehow, someway I truly am making a difference here.
for Addie telling me that I have a "big" vocabulary in Spanish.
for the ability to communicate through Skype on the computer. We are johnpham777 by the way.
the mission teams that allow us to have stuff mailed to them so that they can bring it with us.
for a baby that is pooping many times a day.
for a little girl, Ally, who has a sensitive heart towards the Lord and has incredible conviction and discernment for an 8 year old.
for my 76 year old Mema. She is truly the sweetest, most loving person I know. In a few months I am going to be hugging her neck.
And for the opportunity to be THANKFUL, because it truly has lifted my spirits these past few days. It is impossible to be down when I am so busy giving thanks.
