When you have to say Good-Bye a lot, some how you get better at doing it. Although, when you go get on the plane, it's still as sad as it was the first time regardless of the number of tears shed or not shed. I just had a great week of personal refreshment with the Shraders in Peru. If you don't know them, Bill is like the Bible answer man and Lena absolutely embodies the love and compassion that I'm certain represents the depth of Jesus. This week, probably for the first time ever, Lena and I got to spend a few days together. We traveled to Iquitos in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest to go to the Latin America Child Care schools there and get a glimpse of the children and the effect of the feeding program and it's affect on the children. We were met by great native laborers who catered to us like we were royalty; brothers and sisters in the Lord. The schools were great, children- more excited and thankful than ever! We were met with a gamut of emotions as well... joy, compassion, thankfulness, injustice, sadness, shock, love....
Personally this trip revived my soul through a great family, laughter and the love and vision of the Father. Exactly perfect timing, there is nothing like laugh therapy! I love it.
Now, I'm sitting in a rain storm in Atlanta and will be flying to Orlando and then onto Cincinnati (weird I know)!
