Sweet Things!

This is a rough place God has called us to and I've heard that Dutch Harbor will be rougher. Even tonight I hear the people out in the parking lot who've been drinking to much. Something crashed a minute ago and everything got quiet. Sure hope they didn't bang something into our van!! If they would have I think the alarm would have gone off. I'm glad John's sleeping so he won't feel the need to go out and check just yet! It didn't really sound like that but it was loud. In a place that's so rough the gentle sweet things mean so much. A hug from Jonathan. Kristi laying her head over on my shoulder while we sit and watch TV. John doing the dishes again just because he loves me! A caramel vanilla candle. The beautiful sunset. The sweet puppy I got to hold the other night. I pray that my focus will be more and more on the sweet things and less on the ugly and that my heart will love even the unlovely.
