Off to Hawaii

As I hurriedly prepare for our departure tomorrow, I felt the need to take a moment and take a deep breath. Sure we are all excited about the trip! Christmas in Hawaii! We enjoy being together as a whole extended family. We enjoy adventure and traveling, exploring and trying new things. But I would really like this time to be purposeful in a spiritual sense.

I desire specifically to be an instrument of love, kindness and service to my family.
I pray that my children would die to self and WANT to serve others.
I pray that it would bring joy to their hearts to see others happy.
I pray that we would be a light to those living in darkness.
That we would each have the opportunity to share the gospel with someone we meet.
I pray that we would come back more aware of the goodness of our great God and Savior.

I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Mele Kalikimaka! I thought of you as we ate our Hawaiian food last night. It was so good!
I am going to miss you, Kari when I'm gone! You are wonderful.

As one of the 'younger generation' - you should be able to figure it out, right?
Here's a blog to check out - http://mattandanita.blogspot.com/ (We don't have one of our own yet, but it might have been a more simple way to update people about God's faithfulness this past year. But more on that later!) PS Love all you BK's and families - just in case any checks thes old posts!!
