Tonight was the night\u2026Eli insisted we couldn\u2019t wait any longer! For the last several years, our family has used a large mason jar as a great way to keep track of different \u201cadventures\u201d we\u2019ve had through the years. There are no rules. Sometimes it\u2019s a plane ticket that\u2019s thrown in the jar and sometimes it\u2019s a receipt from our beloved @youracworthcfas or a paper napkin ring from a restaurant we happened to find on a roadtrip that was memorable. As we gathered around the jar tonight, each person got a turn to grab one item to talk about and we go around and around until the jar is empty. We had a bunch of 2023 memorabilia from two of our most consistent family partners @nsckennesaw and @nccseagles. We had a blast reminiscing on @tritheparks races we worked at together, mission trips, SCUBA certification, volleyball tournaments, @woodlandscamp, @braves games, @atlhawks, and a visitor sticker from Eli\u2019s multiple ER trips last year \ud83d\ude02. Lots of connections with family and friends, but one thought that is the umbrella over it all.<\/p>\n
God is faithful. He is working.<\/p>\n
We have so much to be grateful for.<\/p>\n
