Like a Breeze!

This is it! We breezed through it and our vacation is over... well, more over than not. We sit here, a little bit more than 24 hours away from departure time and toys are already being counted and put together. The bed holds four suitcases that, somehow, are supposed to fit all of the stuff we brought plus all of the stuff we're taking and still weigh up to 50 lbs. each (I truly believe I am in on line for a small miracle on this one). But the inevitable is coming and the time to say good by grows nearer. I miss home, I want to go home, as much as I love this country and all my friends and family we're getting to that time when we need our routine back. That doesn't mean that we're looking forward to saying good by. As we do this routine over and over again, I realize we have all tried to learn to live and endure it the best way we can. I have learned that He is my only hope and my only strength. I have understood that I don't need to understand why life goes the way it does... as long as I am secure in Him we will be fine. The grace for the day will come from Him, the strength to carry on will come from Him, and the joy for even these moments will come from Him as well. My only prayer is that all those others facing the good bys with us will find the same source.
