Coming Home
Vacations are a wonderful thing and coming home is always good, too. Remember when you couldn’t wait to leave for the trip and the sense of hope you had a few weeks before going knowing you would have a few days away from work and the daily grind. As good as it is to get away, however, there’s security in the normalcy of my “daily grind”.
When something upsets my sense of normalcy such as illness or a death in the family, I long for things to just be the way they were…even if I wasn’t completely happy with the way things were. And so I’m happy to report that our oldest daughter will be returning in a few days from her summer ministry in VA Beach. It’s been a long 10 weeks without her. Even if its only for 3 weeks before setting off for another year of college, it will be good to be back to “normal”….whatever that is. 
I hope everyone is having a blessed summer and enjoying one of the best weather patterns we’ve had in years….at least in Ohio.
Hugs,
Beth
