One of the best things about preparing for the move has been the everyday minor miracles we have been having.
I think everyone has these blessings everyday, but it isn't often we notice them. As for us, we have found AMAZING packing boxes (wood and metal shipping crates made to ship army gear all over the place so super sturdy) to keep all of our stuff that will stay at home nice and safe.
We have found (re-found) the love and joy in our relationships with family and friends. Even relationships that have been a bit neglected lately have been rekindled as everyone prepares to see us off and wish us well. No one is very happy we are leaving, but they are happy for us. And so many of them have stepped forward to help in various ways (donating boxes, an un-used loft for storage, the entire lower floor of their home to house us during transition, just loving us and spending time with us, and etc).
We have been able to bless others by donating a lot of the items we don't need/want to the local thrift store.
There are load of other ways we have been blessed....too many to count, really. There are also lots of other ways we anticipate being blessed; finding new friends, exploring a new country, coming even closer as a family, learning the joy of pen pals, and more.
I think we should all take more time to look at these minor miracles and thank God for everything he does for us.
