Cherished Moments

We flew home from Virginia, through Charlotte yesterday, leaving behind four of our beloved family, bringing along the older sisters to return to their home here in Iowa. The only exciting part of the trip was the hurried walk through the Charlotte airport as our connection flight was across the airport and we had limited time to get there. We made it, though there were some hungry girls when we arrived in Des Moines.

It was sad saying goodbye, not knowing when we will see them again. But we are so thankful that we made the trip. There are so many memories to treasure. We made a visit to historic Williamsburg downtown and walked through the street admiring the old shops and homes that have been preserved. Though the historic folk were not present because of COVID-19, we got a taste of the past and admired the old brick buildings and a farmstead with sheep.

We spent part of a day at Top Golf having fun hitting golf balls in preparation for watching the PGA Tournament. There was a lot of hide and seek played, some video games, a dangerous pancake game, Clue, and lots of laughter, too. We spent lots of time playing with Phoebe the dog. It was a delightful time.

"The Lord will keep you from all harm---he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore," (Psalm 121:7-8 NIV).

In spite of our hesitations about making the trip we all were healthy and still are, thankfully. God kept us from all harm and watched over us both then and now. God is so good. He is so, so good.

As you go through today may you remember the promise from Psalm 121 and be blessed.
