Struggling Well With Life

God does so much more than we hope or imagine in our lives. Rare is life so good that you are convinced you won’t live another day - cause only heaven can top it. But, I had one of those moments that lasted 10 days. I walked Israel, I experienced the picture book of our spiritual history pop up. I experienced this with a woman who still takes delight in my presence after decades of marriage, and who still makes me laugh and draws me in. And I saw this land with my two daughters who both love Jesus, and actually wanted to experience Israel with their mom and dad. I have always hoped and prayed that our girls would have a great love for the Lord, and to see their love grow in front of my eyes as they read and studied the Word through the Holy Land, is over the top for this old man. And, I saw this land with two people who have prayed for our girls as much, if not more, than we have - their grandparents. Flying home, as tired as we were, I was convinced that this trip would be a precious gift to our family, a gift that each of us would be so grateful for - for years to come.
