I am very thankful for the rest that we had together as a family last week.  What a great time.  Eat, sleep, hike, run, play hockey in the street, read books, watch movies.  We had a great time in Lynden, WA.  On a few mornings our view of Mt. Baker was glorious.  Rest, genuine restorative rest is a gift of God.  I’m glad I got to enjoy it last week.
