DEPLOYMENT | COUNTING THE TIME

It's funny how many ways I find myself counting the time now that I'm trying to pass nine months of it. Yesterday we had beautiful, mild weather. T-shirt weather. So the boys and I went outside and swung on the porch swing, ran in circles, walked through the harvested corn fields, made a pile of sticks, and begged Asher to do the same silly dance over and over to see Silas laugh and squeal in delight at him. As great as it was to do all of that without being bitten by cold air, I wanted it to hurry up and be winter. Because winter means that we're one season closer to being with Thane again..."But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." {2 Peter 3:8}
