I'll miss the patina of Switzerland's houses, some built hundreds of years ago.

Little alleys of staircases provide shortcuts from the main streets into Swiss neighborhoods.
We visited a Marzipan factory today. Marzipan can be rolled out as a filling or icing ...

or it can become tasty playdough.

I'm amazed that he trusted us with his Son. That Jesus was entrusted to Mary and Joseph, parents who forged a living from their surroundings and lived in their community. He not only saves us from our sins, but he encourages us to play and make ourselves at home in his world. Lovely!
We're packed up to return home to the USA tomorrow. Three planes. Travel time= 2-3 hours to the airport and through security. 18 hours of flying and the drive home. Something to look forward to at the end ... a ride with our daughter and sleeping in our own bed. Life is good.

Moravian Prayer: Surprising God, your finest act was carried out by the most humble of humanity. You showed us that your power can exist in human weakness. We praise you and pray for the faith to accept it. Amen.
