It is a day for unpacking. It is a day of being so thankful for what it feels like to come home! Every item I pull from my jumbled suitcases brings blessing and smiles. There is the dress from wedding joys. I will forever be grateful for the love this couple found together.

I will forever remember the joy of being with my mom and sister as they experienced Guatemala for the first time. I will never forget God’s gracious provision of this miracle on the 4th of July. It was a different kind of family reunion! One to cherish.

Oh there are the tissue flowers from VBS in Mexico! The bracelet I still have to finish making; the mask of a lion. I hear the children’s laughter. I see the shining light in our teenager’s spirits. Notes fall from my journal and I am reminded how faithfully God spoke to each of us every day. My heart is filled up, over flowing and spilling all over the day.
Welcome home, Vona! I loved the stories you shared through your blog posts of the trip. My heart is filled up from the pictures you painted for us with your words this week.
Great to see you, your Mom and Sis. wonderful picture. 🙂
