Since I'm way older than you I'll share something that may give you a another perspective from which to look at the monotonous times, which God has taught me. We are always looking for that 'big thing' that happened this year when it's also encouraging to look at what DIDN'T happen. Our husbands DIDN'T lose their jobs, so we DIDN'T lose our homes and means of clothing or feeding ourselves. We didn't fall victim to any fatal diseases, or accidents. We didn't lose any of our loved ones or ourselves...you get the picture. I look back at how God protected, sustained, and spared us throughout the year and pray a repeat if it was 'all good', and if it wasn't, it was 'for our good'. Again, thanks for sharing with us what God is teaching you. We learn right along with you when you do. I enjoy your insights and your charming and eloquent writing style.
