This weekend I returned to my home away from home in Harrisonburg, VA (Go Dukes Football: 8-1). It was so so nice to visit with friends and catch up on each others' hectic lives. To see how Angie's kids have grown up so quickly. And I didn't think it could happen, but they're even cuter than I remember. It was so so nice to stroll through JMU's campus with Angie and just BEING with her and talking with her...face to face, heart to heart! I am so so thankful for Angie's friendship.It was refreshing to sit with Kate on her awesome new screened-in-porch and to hear Charlie play his Marimba (that big wooden instrument thing!). I am so thankful for Kate's patience and willingness to listen with all her heart. I do miss her and the fun we used to have together!
And I am thankful for my church family in Harrisonburg. I am thankful for opportunities like these to worship and sing and exchange hugs with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am thankful that when I am with these brothes and sisters, I feel God's presence ever the more.
Yes, I am thankful for a sweet sweet weekend away. I wish could have stopped the clocks rather than turned them back. But I guess instead, I will look back into the past and remember the good times spent in Harrisonburg and as a student at JMU. Time must go on. I'm just thankful for these chances to revisit the past while living in the present.
