Hi Friends,
Dear Heart and I are settled, most comfortably, in the San Antonio International Airport and find there are some 30 minutes before we get ready to prepare to board. Since I didn’t get time last night to check in with you, this seems a good way to use waiting time.
Did you know that along the walk ways in San Antonio International Airport rocking chairs are scattered here and there between security and the gates? So cool!
Sitting in one of the high-back white rockers, a daddy had his daughter snuggled safely in his arms. Even though she seemed a little droopy, her eyes flashed fear as she watched the crowd of strangers. But leaned against her daddy’s chest and gripped his hands as he moved both of them back and forth and back and forth.
Sometimes, when I’m hurting and confused and the world is crashing against me,
I climb into my Heavenly Father’s arms and press into Him. It is there that security settled around me and I am comforted. As I relax, at peace in His care, I snuggle quietly, listening to His reassurances.
I wanted to snap a picture of the daddy and child, but could not bring myself to interrupt their communion to ask permission so I walked on, holding their image in my heart.
I’m holding images of all of you in my heart as I constantly ask Father to help us turn our hearts totally to Him and to please pour mercy onto our parched souls and rain onto our parched land.
This will be ready to post when we settle into our hotel in Sarasota this evening.
Be blessed, friends!
Liz – enroute!
Blessings on your time in Sarasota, friend...
All's grace,
Ann
