Day 3:
So we have been here for almost 3 years now and have never explored Newport before... quite sad huh? Well now we can proudly say that we have =). Lisa and I left for Newport early in the morning and got there just in time to feel hungry enough for lunch by the water hehe. We went to this cute seafood restaurant called "Barking Crab" and each got very filling meals. Lisa ordered the Crab cake sandwich platter, while I ordered the classic Beer battered Fish & Chips. We also split a quahog stuffie appetizer, it was amazing! Mmm, I looove seafood. The appetizer did end up having a uh, not so HACCP item inside of it... but the manager was nice enough to personally apologize and replace the starter. Now that is an example of good customer service (Flushing needs to learn more about this area tsk tsk). She also said, "You guys must be in the food industry" haha. You bet! After stuffing ourselves with delicious food, we decided to walk around (and digest) and explore the beauty of Newport.
The weather was lovely, the company was lovely, and the day has just been absolutely peaceful. Actually, it's been a while since I've been able to say that.
Lisa reminded me today that I am so blessed to have the life that I do, and how I am much better off than most people in this world. I guess I have been allowing sin to occupy my heart for so long that I have gotten distracted from remembering and dwelling on God's grace. I ran away from my precious Heavenly Father when I actually needed Him the most this summer... But, something about today just felt so... easy. I wanted to smile and thank the Lord for everything He has done for me, my family, and friends. I really need to learn how to trust and depend on Him more because without Him I don't know where I would be.
So today I just want to say Thank You God for every blessing, trial, and new experience you have given me or put me through. I love You.
