    "for the extravagance of comfort"... what a perfect reminder that all the things that feather our nests are gifts, and are not standard issue for so very many people in our world.

    thank you for the reminder and for your beautiful list.

    Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog today! I will be praying for you and your mother. =) He is able to see us through! My pastor's wife encouraged me with these verses the other day when I was feeling overwhelmed...so I will pass them onto you. *Psalm 61:2-4* May He be your strength!

    In His love,
    Katie
