A Brief Hardstop

Putting a hard stop in right now to be thankful. No time for fancy words and deep musings to reflect all the thoughts and feelings jumbled in my mind and heart this week. Just taking a few seconds for some intentional gratitude, to jot down all that has blessed my heart recently.

In this Veteran's Day week, thanking God for:

#21. my husband's life

#22. my family

#23. every single Marine Corps memory - the good, the bad, the ugly

#24. Adam's brother's safe return from Afganistan

#25. that he and his wife are finally together, soon to close their own Marine Corps chapter

#26. for the smile on his face and the light in his eyes - after a combat deployment he looks good

#27. for the increasing grace that Adam exudes when confronting his Marine Corps past

#28. that after all he did and all he saw he is still one of the most gentle people I know

#29. for all the family getting together to welcome the brother-in-law home last night

#30. that Duty, Honor, Commitment is more than just a motto and creed but is the way in which Adam conducts his life
