What a blessing to have a cozy house with warm smiles and soft beds when it’s cold outside.
How amazing to take a run by myself along the Cam River, by the barges and the willows, watching the train on one side and fields of sheep on the other. What a blessing to break a sweat after a blurry two days.
What blessings are there from packing all five children in the car last night, driving into the Cambridge city center and completely missing the Christmas parade we meant to see. We were 1 hour too late but right on time for the rain that came. We wound through the Kings College alleys and walked along the University “Backs” in the rain…and in the dark.
What a blessing to return to the city today, strolling through the open air market and the courtyards of the medieval colleges, talking and laughing and trying to distract whining children.
What a blessing watching my girls and their cousins play together, feeding them their lunch together and cooking with my sister-in-law in her kitchen.
How amazing to take Hope into the chapel in the Trinity College courtyard, and see the statues of Tenneyson, Newton and Bacon lining the entry way. I whisper in her ear, “Remember this”.
There are new blessings every hour here.

Perspective is everything, right? Have a wonderful time in England, Sarah. I’m sure Tiffers is enjoying the company! I wish I was there!
