Reasons I am thankful for our community in Russia. . .

  • new friends being willing to enter into our lives and allow us to be a part of theirs
  • both the apartment manager and I waiting, smiling, waving, and talking as I enter/leave the building
  • seeing people I know where I shouldn’t see them (in a city of millions); seeing people out on the street, in the metro, out walking—there’s something about that that fills my soul up with such a warmness
  • being called out in truth by a friend
  • walking with my husband
  • seeing changes in friends and in myself that were not purposely sought out but are ultimately for good
  • reading/studying His word together
  • eating Russian meals in Russian homes
  • having our home filled with those we love
  • sharing in people's dreams
