I'm done.
If my Lou's grandmother were alive, she'd correct me with, "Cakes are done. People are finished."
Haha. Ok. That too.
This is the last of My Tribe's Vibe: 31 Days. Thank you, thank you, for stopping by this month. Your kind words of encouragement and "Likes" on my fb page mean more than you know.
As I've contemplated how to tie this up, I Corinthians 13, the famous Love chapter, keeps coming to mind.
Because, in the end, in all we do, it matters that we love.
My former pastor defined love as "doing what is best for someone in the long run." I think that's pretty spot on. Maybe contemplating that sentence and reading through I Corinthians 13 on a regular basis would help me keep my focus where it needs to be. It'd help me keep my prayers where they need to be.
Because, I can have every "policy" and have been as proactive as I know how to be, but if I don't have love, I am a noisy gong and clanging symbol. I am nothing. And I do not want to go there.
But I do want to tell you who has loved me very well during this last month. There are only 2 who now hang out with me on a daily basis.

| Mary Grace and Lou |
This pair has taken up so much slack this month. I'd say, "I have to go get this blog done," and disappear for a while, and they'd do what I didn't have time to do. They've encouraged me, stayed up late with me, and humored me during this 31 day marathon. Thank you, Lou and Mary Grace.
Also feeling very thankful to God for the gift of my Tribe. Sometimes I am overcome with how much I love these 7 people (now 8, with our Hannah's dear Alex!). They know me like no one else does on this planet, and they still love me.
I am blessed.
