Amazing Friends

I have some amazing friends....the only problem is that most of them live far away...scattered all around the world. This morning we went to the airport to say good-bye to one of my newest friends....Amy left for the first part of her trip to South Africa. And on Wednesday....Ralph and Myrna left for Russia...it seems that those we are the closest to...well, they just get up and leave! But that is part of this life...comings and goings. Now we look forward to several months of fellowship with Enoch and Janel and their lovely kids. They are coming on Monday....and we are working hard at getting their "home away from home" ready! I do miss my global friends.....and it hurts when they leave...but there is also great JOY knowing that they are exactly where they are supposed to be...giving it all for the kingdom!! And it is a great JOY to cheer them on from afar!! What a reunion it will be one day!!
