Thankful Heart

This morning I woke up so happy. It wasn't because I got to sleep until 8 (hallelujah!), or that the sun was shining. Those are great things, but I woke up with a full, thankful happy heart. I woke up feeling thankful for our friends. We had a barbecue with friends last night, where to ate, drank, caught up on life, and enjoyed watching our boys get filthy dirty in a pile of dirt.
I was reminded how much we need community, and how important it is to schedule time with friends. Matt and I have done a better job of that in the last year with individual couples, but not as much with everyone. I am reminded that everyone is busy, but we have to make life together a priority. I am thankful for friends, and our time spent together.
