Go FIG-ure!

We have friends. That is such a heart-fluttery feeling! I am constantly amazed that people love us enough to drive 8 hours to see us, but these ones drove 8 hours with 6 kids under the age of 7 to come see us! We were able to spend 4.5 days with "The Figs". Our house rang with laughter, squeals, and the trip-trap of little feet! What a joy this family is. They are raising their kids to love one another, love & honor God, respect authority, and live life fully and it radiates from these little ones.
God answered our prayer for snow so the kids were able to go sledding! We went for adventures in the woods, mid afternoon tramps to the fort and beyond, a FREEZING COLD hike to the lookout - always followed up by a warm fire and hot cocoa!
We had an opportunity to go out as couples while our kids watched theirs. We don't get to do that often and it was a sweet time of fellowship.
I am just so, so thankful for Godly, dear, deep, spirit-filled relationships that endure and grow.
