From the weekend—Through a lens of gratitude

So (so) many people had a weekend that I'm sure they wish they could forget. On Friday, Tim, the kids, and I were on our way to the park for an evening out with each other. On the way, I told him it almost didn't feel right to go out, to make the most of our weekend, while so many people throughout the country were facing or had recently faced or were waiting to face such devastation. My heart hurt, so I tried, as best I could, to look at every moment of our weekend through a lens of gratitude. As we go into this week, we're praying for all those who are hurting and for those who are remembering the hurt from 16 years ago.

Let's make this week a good one.
