Blessed

Tonight we had a Dinner For 8 group at our house. It's a thing that our Sunday school class does where four couples are grouped together for 3 months to do socials and dinners in order to have a chance to better get to know each other. We had SUCH a wonderful time. All of the couples in our group are absolutely lovely and have lovely children. We all had a fantastic time. We are SO blessed to have been put here in Tucson. God has SO totally seen to our needs. Not so long ago, we were in a really dark place as far as having our spiritual fellowship needs met. Then we walked into the Catalina Foothills Church and have felt God's blessings poured out on us ever since. God has truly planted some of the lovliest people you could EVER meet right here in Tucson. And we are fortunate enough to cross paths with them quite often. It is refreshing and truly filling to be surrounded by strong Christian couples who are so kind and fun and uplifting and encouraging. I have found such acceptance and love in this group of people and Chris and I both really look forward to opportunities to be involved with them. Every need we have had since we moved here to the desert has been met so fully and completely and so beyond our expectations. I sit here tonight and I feel so blessed that I cannot even begin to put it into words. It is a special feeling to know that God has His hand on you and on your life and is so willing to provide for you in every single area of your life...no matter how small the need or the desire. I can't even begin to put all of these thoughts into appropriate words...I just sit here tonight feeling overwhelmingly blessed. God has been good and faithful. He has richly blessed us with wonderful friends....more than we ever could have hoped for. I am grateful beyond expression...life is SO good and very blessed here in the desert.
