Loren's family has returned to the United States after spending a couple weeks touring Europe,
and stayed at our house for a couple of days and it was incredible to relive precious moments in Israel and laugh and cry and have our spirits stirred again like they were there.
They were planning on leaving on Tuesday.
The Lord wanted them to stay, so He made their transmission blow out.
And then after the transmission was fixed, He decided that that wasn't long enough and made something happen with squeaky pulleys the day that they were planning on leaving, and that bought us another ten hours.
So, we had a vonderful big little M-Bark reunion and spent oodles of time watching movies that Austin took on his shnazzy camera, and said plenty of "do you remember?"'s .
How does one sum up a trip to the land of Israel with a family like Loren's?
God is good,
all the time,
God is good.
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
Matthew 5:14
Signing off for M-Bark for perhaps the last time,
Christy Barkman.
P.S. Thank you to all of our wonderful faithful readers.
We do apologize for the posts being few and far between, but, as Monica put it,
"If we blog tonight, Hallelujah.
If we don't, Amen."
You know . . . I'm thinking our *blog readers* may perhaps occasionally mournfully scroll through these posts, reading them over and over, and perhaps shedding a few tears, and wishing this could never end.
ReplyDeleteI think we should never stop doing this.
(The blog readers and all.)
I think we should keep updating this for the rest of our lives.
You know. For the blog readers.
*bursts into sobs*
