January 6, 2021

1. trust given, trust received
2. family always
3. my sister was finally moved to hospice (sadness because she is there but at least we are now allowed to visit in this endless chaos of COVID) Heart broken because I could see how quickly she is slipping away from us, but gratitude that she has found her peace. So grateful for God’s little mercies, that often aren’t so little and that I can still recognize them in my sorrow.
