saturday

it's saturday.

last night, all was right with my world.  my three olders were home from camp and my youngers joined them around the table to hear stories:

i cried.

even looking at this picture makes me cry.  see that in the lower right hand corner?  

a globe.

the heart of everyone in our family for that globe (or more importantly, for the nations on that globe) will get in between us at some point in the future.

i just know it.

so last night, i just pondered it all in my heart and it brought tears.

today is saturday.

and that same globe just keeps getting in the way.

today we said goodbye to some dear friends.  10 years.  dreams.  moves.  jobs.  adoptions.

when i see that globe i think of seeing the world the way god sees the world.

and

when you see the world through those eyes,

everything changes.

a move to a far off place doesn't seem quite so crazy...

blessings, darrel and gail; noah, lily and jude.

that darn globe just gets in the way...
