Stressed, blessed, and all the rest. Two nights in a row of ice road driving. 
I made it home safely, albeit with white knuckles and frazzled nerves.
I got teary during worship again this week. Dennis came to St. Luke’s for Wednesday nights and trumpet days. I sat in our usual front row spot tonight. The empty seat next to me felt like an abyss.
Blessings included time and meals with dear ones, celebratory birthday cake for 6 birthdays within a month at council last night, unexpected gifts, hugs after church tears, and a lovely arrangement for my porch from some special folks. I’m sure I am missing some. Love you all.
I arrived home after the icy drive to a late birthday gift from Ryan with exactly the sentiment I needed.
