Unexpected Blessings

Abundant unexpected blessings:

Blessing #1: Friends who are willing to work their fingers to the bone, until late at night, and drop everything to come back and help when we're in the 11th hour before leaving and still not done.

Blessing #2: Carpet cleaners who gifted us a free cleaning as we're moving on out.

Blessing #3. No one in line at the ticket counter at check in and a super nice ticket agent who comp'd us a bit on the baggage charges (ended up with 26 checked bags...didn't take the kitchen sink, tho..)

Blessing #4: A missed connection -- yes, this is a blessing! We missed the connection before we even left Denver, so..no stress in an unfamiliar airport. We flew into Heathrow as planned, and are spending a day here (and a night) and flying out on the same flight to Nairobi tomorrow. Plus...we get to sightsee in London!

Blessing #5: A nice lunch at the airport with friends and a close friend of Ashley's to see her off, too!

Blessing #6: A great night's sleep on the airplane for Julie..not so great for Jeff who couldn't sleep (but he's sleeping now! :) ). Ashley was in-between and got some sleep.

Blessing #7: Met a man at Heathrow who gave us his cell # and said to call with any troubles and he'd come to help out.

We're in God's hands..still..and still feeling loved and blessed beyond measure. Things didn't turn out as we'd planned or expected. Instead, God's plan has unfolded and we are enjoying his abundant blessings in the midst of life's unexpected twists. Can't wait to see what's coming next!
