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
