Hi Phil & Family,
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you made it back safely. We have followed you along this journey vicariously through your blog posts and have been greatly blessed and encouraged. Thank you for sharing. What beautiful children and how blessed they are to have loving homes.
At first your posts really made me step back and think about how blessed we are in this country. But upon deeper reflection, I began to think that maybe the sheer abundance of these material blessings we enjoy might create more of a hindrance than help to loving and desiring Christ. I can only imagine how you have been impacted by this trip. I will look forward to hearing all about it when next we see you.
We love you all and look forward to seeing you again soon.
In Christ,
Tim, Cheryl, and the kids
