But, man have I missed him! This trip has been different than others that he has gone on in the past because I have not been able to talk to him much. I have realized this week how much I miss his phones calls in the middle of the day just to "hey". I miss talking with him at the end of the day when we tell each other what "really" happened in our day. I miss his smile and his laugh and the way he hugs me at just the right moments.
I am so thankful that I am my beloveds and that he is mine!
Going through this over this last little while has really made me think about all of the families that have husbands or wives who are deployed. I know that there are so many time when I have not taken the time that I need to to pray for those families as they are struggling through their time apart.
So along with my Monday counting of blessings I will also use Mondays to pray for families who are separated around the world. I will be praying for their strength, and peace. I will be praying for the safety of the loved one who is away. I will be praying that those who are left behind would be surrounded by others who are willing to help them and encourage them as they wait to be reunited as a family again.

My family and I live in Nepal. Nathan shared your blog address with us this morning when he and a group came to our home for breakfast. We all enjoyed hearing him share his heart and from the Word.
Jenna....my husband has been gone too and will come home only for 2 days then he will leave again for a little more than a week. I will join you in praying for all of you have mentioned, and pray for you too! Having a support system around you is sooo important.
