a day without us
Kidding…sort of…
We gave Mark a retreat basket and permission to go away for a day by himself. He got lots of goodies in there that he likes like cashews, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Peligrino, and caramels. Then, he got a couple good thinking books, a notebook, a pen, a sealed envelope with notes from the kids to read when he’s away, and a cool paperweight from Dos Besitos with a map of Baoji and Xi’an (where Lydia is from and where we were to get her).
Happy birthday, Mark. Thank you for your commitment to growing in Him. Know that I support you 100% in that–even when it means time away from us or from helping me with the parenting duties. Thank you for being a godly leader in our home.
