This morning Neal and I will depart for a 5 day cruise setting sail out of Galveston headed toward Mexico. We close friends and my parents. “Your parents??” I’m sure you are asking…lol 🙂 We are all celebrating 40ths! Neal turns 40 on the 14th, our friend Angela turns 40 tomorrow and my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving day. Actually, I don’t get a lot of time with my folks so I’m very glad to have this time to celebrate and share with them. (And I will be working on a few virtues like patience, fortitude, prudence etc… 🙂 I just might have to do a ‘Virtues’ segment when I get back and see how I ‘showed up’ in growing in virtue. )
Five days on a cruise ship with 2994 strangers…can you imagine what stories I’ll have? I get giddy just thinking about it! lol I’ve learned God shows up in the strangest ways and when you put yourself in a situation such as this the opportunity is endless.
I hate to begin my blog by not posting for five days but I won’t have accessibility to a computer to blog and the rate is international on my phone so unless something happens that I just HAVE to share I will catch up with you all as soon as I get back.
As a departure gift I wanted to leave you with one of my favorite new songs. Mandisa’s ‘Good Morning’ with Toby Mac. Here is the link to the song and lyrics. It’s a great way to start your day!
Blessings
