It’s been a good year.
It’s been a good year.
We’ve seen grave suffering and intense beauty in its midst. We’ve seen tears of pain and tears of joy and we’ve shed them also. It’s a terrible and wondrous thing to serve a Holy God.
In all our time here we’ve seen so little of this gorgeous country.
Tomorrow that will change.
We’ve planned and hoped to visit patients who have come here and since gone home who live in the far reaches of Mozambique. We have hugged backs, kissed cheeks, smiled and waved goodbye not knowing if we would ever see many of our friends again.
Tomorrow that too will change.
As a last minute plan, we will be leaving at 3 in the morning to make a roughly 16 hour drive to a city in Mozambique called Beira. We know many former patients who live in the area and an opportunity to stay for free in a wonderful home came up suddenly and we felt God’s hand nudging us to go.
We’ll go.
So up we get in the morning, loaded to the gills with things to keep two kids under 2 years old happy for 16 hours sitting, with plenty of coffee, plenty of trail mix, and plenty of music to listen to and worship our King to.
It will be a long day.
Please, if you read this on Christmas Eve in the USA or on Christmas day here in Africa, please do stop here and spend some minutes praying for our journey.
Did you stop?
Thanks.
So here’s where we wish you all a Merry Christmas.
If there was snow to go dashing through we’d be doing that but we’ll just settle for trying to go make spirits bright.
Merry Christmas.
An Already Bright Spirit
