Winter can be a bit tough. The sun comes up late and sets early. Mostly cloud cover. Loads of rain. It can get very dark (physically and emotionally). We have to be thankful for the little things during these seasons. When people ask me how I like the weather in Ireland (happens a lot), I also reply, “There’s never a bad day for a cup of coffee.”
Another thing I’m thankful for is our back garden. In the very rare moments that the sun comes out during the winter, our kids are able to play outside. We were blessed to be able to install artificial grass in our backyard allowing the kids to play immediately after the rain stops. The picture above is the first sunny day of 2025. The kids had great time climbing, yelling, running, and wrestling. 15 minutes later it was time to come back in. Haha.
We’re thankful for so many little things. We’re also thankful for the big things. This team is one of those big things that keeps us going. Your financial support obviously sustains us. Your prayer equally (probably much more) also sustains us. In those tough moments, your prayers lift us up. We can feel it. Thank you.
