bounce-back

::: inviting a family to your home and sharing a meal...

.

...the last two weeks have been full of such opportunities...stressing out about what to make (and whether it's palatable) and feeling drained afterward and discouraged by our inability to communicate clearly are part of the deal...despite these things, our spirits are soaring as we experience both God's ministry through us as well as the bounce-back joy of Him ministering to us through these times...slowly, we are finding ourselves able to "stay in" and enjoy the moment and listen for longer periods of time without fatigue...

.

...a handful of the wonderful people we're privileged to know...

...that God would continue to soften our hearts to love our japanese neighbors and friends...
