Most of you aren’t up right now to read this, but naturally, I can’t sleep.
After 4 weeks, tomorrow we bring our Eastern European friends back to the airport. They have reassured me that they are well cared for & will be happy back home. I’m so grateful for their mentor Kohl who brings them to church each week. It means so much that they are being loved and discipled.
While they were here we had a nightly routine at dinner time. I had a series of questions taped to the inside of their countdown chain. Dinner included everyone answering simple questions like, “What is your favorite color?”
Tonight after dinner Jeremy said, “If you have one question for us, what would it be?” The little one took the phone and typed into Google Translate, “If we can be here in summer.” (NHFC arranges summer hosting also. )
So we haven’t even sent them and their 60-ish pounds of baggage through airport security yet and already they’ve got us wondering what the future holds.
…cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord : though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. (Isaiah 1:16-18 ESV)
