| Not your mother's rose bouquet |
We're leaving today to visit family in Europe until Christmas Eve. We wonder what the days will bring, in addition to hellos and goodbyes on that side of the world. We've scheduled opportunities for speaking and fundraising but I probably won't spotlight those.
I'm looking forward to God's beauty in a different area of the world. Among people. In communities. In our surroundings. Can't wait. (Oh my, those long flights are still ahead.)
That said, whatever I'm thinking this trip will bring, there will be surprises. God rarely does the expected. That might be because our imagination is limited. Finite.
What are you looking forward to these two weeks before Christmas? What might surprise you?
