to God be the Glory. . .

Saturday flew by.  The last of the long days of last week.  Before we knew it, the time had come to make the drive to the airport.  With much excitement the Mommies and Kiddos loaded up in the van to welcome the Daddies back to this soil that we call home.  I wish we would have recorded the shouting and hurrahs from the Kiddos upon seeing the airport.  :)

Upon arriving, we met a Daddy and Boy that said they had been waiting for 2 hours for their Mommy to clear customs.  We thought it would not be us.  That things would be caught up till our plane came in. . .

Approximately 2 hours later. . .

There were bear hugs and smiles.  God brought them safely home!  This was our first experience with lost luggage in all of our flying, but we didn't seem to mind since we were all together again.

As we traveled home in the wee hours of the morning, we listened to stories of their trip and heard their laughter as they shared memories, impressions, and experiences.

Thanking God for safe travels, beautiful weather to work in, and the opportunity to serve.

To God Be ALL the Glory!

of plane trips & mudslides. . .

The Husband/Daddy left Friday night for Honduras.  We have been working on not being too selfish about that this week.  There are other Husband/Daddies with him and they are going to be doing work for the King.  We know that we are not the only ones missing someone and that there will be blessings.

Compassion Bloggers left for Guatemala on Tuesday.  As I was reading Ann Voskamp yesterday, she had a wonderful thought for our family. . .

Her daughters were struggling with her leaving just like we struggled with our Daddy leaving and they said:

We're never far apart when we're all in Jesus.

Just a wonderful thought for us this week as we wait for the work to be complete in Honduras and Guatemala. 

Since part of our hearts are in Guatemala, we were sad to hear about all of the mudslides and  rain.

We are praying for those that have lost family there.  We are also praying that the Compassion Bloggers have a wonderful & safe trip.  Can't wait to read all their stories when they return.
