Yesterday morning, I opened the fridge and pulled out the milk to put some on my cereal. The milk jug said "Best before July 11." "July 11th?!" I thought to myself, "How do they get milk to stay good for that long? I mean, it's only June 1st." Pause....."Oh yeah, it's July 3rd."
That's what happens when you spend the summer living out of a suitcase and crossing various state lines regularly: you lose your sense of time. No, it's not the easiest way to spend a summer, but as my Mom says, I'm trying to "see the blessing and not the burden." The blessing is getting to see and reconnect with many people - family, friends, churches, supporters.
Pray for us - that we will be able to see many more friends and family, but also that we will get the rest and refreshment we need to return to Germany in August.
