Thankful Thursday

I talked with E this evening.  It was my first phone call with her from Virginia.  She sounded tired, but at least the reception was good.  E and N have cell phone service with a new carrier, so I wasn't sure how the call quality would be now that we're don't have different carriers.  Even though I last saw E on Tuesday morning, it was good to talk with her and hear what she and N and Penny have been up to for the last two days.

Looking over the past week, I have so much to be thankful for:

• safety for everyone on the drive to Virginia and the return drive to Illinois
• plentiful gasoline supply in spite of the power outages along our routes
• good weather on the road and while unloading the trailer
• relatively uneventful ride for Penny and a gradual but good adjustment to her new home
• family members that were willing to give up 4 days to help E and N move   
• harmony even in the midst of stress
• peace that E and N are exactly where God wants them to be
