Paddington says farewell!
It has been a trip where God has opened our eyes to the wonder of His creation (and also showed us where man is screwing it up). I love the churches and their testament to the faith of generations past. I love the flavors of the food and drink that are uniquely regional. I soak up the beauty of the countryside, and cringe at the overwhelming number of people who can be in one place at one time. The people who joined us on our sojourn added their flavor to the experience, and the events back home that we missed tugged at our hearts. We prayed more, hugged more, fought too much, ate more, spent more and marveled more.
So I guess,a trip like this is MORE of everything. There is s depth of appreciation that comes with a trip like this: for what I saw, what I left behind, and those that cared about us in both arenas.
I missed so much back home, but I would have missed a chunk of the world that I was blessed to have experienced. But it’s time…
I thought I would honor Princess Diana while in London by seeking out her memorials, if there were any.
