Overflowing Gratitude

Translate Into:

Our family is in the midst of some transitions and trials right now in our family, and this time is filled with challeges.  However, whenever we travel a road with chalenges, our friends help to lighten our loads.

We have been lucky enough to have made many wonderful friends over the years, and they have found a myriad of ways to help us during this time.  There are long-time friends who have become closer again through our shared trials, and there are new friends who have helped lighten our hearts and bring smiles to our faces.  Whenever I think that we have come to a problem that cannot be fixed, a solution appears, and a hand helps us along.

Today we had a dinner with two new friends, feasting on food that was brought to us by friends we have known for years.  It felt so good to be able to share our good fortune, and it felt so right to share food received in friendship!

We will never be able to say thank you enough for everything that we have received at the hands of our friends.  But we are very, very grateful for these wonderful friends, and feel so blessed that we have these friends.  We are so glad that we have opened our hearts to love from so many directions!

May your life be shared with as many different wonderful friends as ours is, and filled with as much love as we have around us!
