In the middle of our move, Jonathan's parents reminded us of an old McCaffrey tradition that was done in order to bless a new home or dwelling place. Since we have been running around like chickens with our head cut off for the past 5 days, we did not have a chance to fulfill our tradition. Feeling kind of guilty about our inability to keep up with our responsibilities, we finally managed to run to the grocery store and collect the necessary ingredients.
In the midst of all this excitement, it is important to thank God for the many blessings he bestows upon us and to ask for His protection while we venture out in this new phase in our lives. We are so blessed to be in this new home and we are so blessed to have each other while we are so far away from our family. I pray that God continues to show His blessings in everything we say and do.
