POIGNANT MOMENTS
Sipping Tim Horton's coffee at the Calgary Airport
Finding our rental car upgrade - a black BMW
Marveling at the tree-covered mountains that cradle Kelowna
Enjoying coffee and muffins at Bliss Bistro in Peachland
Reminiscing with Walter's old friends from back home
Gazing at the twinkling lights across Okanagan Lake Driving over the bridge to Westbank/West Kelowna
Sharing lunch with a young man from home who is doing his pastoral internship in BC
Sleeping in the bedroom of a young gal, 13-year-old cancer survivor, who gave up her bed for us
Being thankful for an accommodating cook at the missions conference
Hugging our daughter and going to church with her Sunday morning
Praying for Walter as he (&2 other missionaries) shared last-minute at the missions event
Losing my voice from allergies/talking to students and others by our Healing Hearts booth
Worshiping by listening to the folks around me while I mutely lifted my hands
Tearing up as we watched our daughter perform with her drama tour group
Reading & praying at 3 a.m.
Hearing the next morning of battles and victories
Listening to fellow missionaries share about stress and loneliness
Bumping through some turbulence over Calgary
Watching  Netflix in the airport with one set of earphones
Waking in my own bed
Basking in the Saskatchewan sunshine through my living room window
Praising God for another safe and Spirit-led journey
