Multitude Mondays

This weekend we had an opportunity to go on an overnight Care Group Leaders' Retreat, where the care group leaders at our church got together to share a bit of what's going on in their lives and be refreshed and encouraged. It was a wonderful time, and another reminder at how much I have to be thankful for:
  • getting away overnight without the kids, all expenses paid
  • getting to spend time with the other leaders at church
  • sharing some of the joys and challenges of life with each other
  • giving and receiving prayer and encouragment
  • the amazing families who cared for our kids while we were away
  • the yummy food!
  • returning to some very tired kids on Saturday
  • Sunday morning worship
  • taking a family walk in Harford Glen
  • writing letters to faraway friends
  • a quiet breakfast with Toby to star the week
