The Journey Begins to End....

Here we are, Monday morning, cleaning the center and getting ready for a farewell luncheon. Yesterday was church day then dinner with our hosts - it' s exciting to see everyone praising God in their own language, drums beating, all ages, all colors, all nations. It really broadens your mind and your heart when you realize God speaks French.....and turkish...and arabic...and swiss...and English! Two little girls dressed in angel wings sang a song about the birth of the savior- their little brother was to join them but suffered from a late night and a minor meltdown at singing time :) Sound familiar?? We are off to a quick day in Paris- a trip on the bullet train, now there is an adventure. A peek at the Eiffel Tower, hours of de-briefing, asking the hard questions about God's involvement in our lives and our trip to France and what we'll be taking home with us in our minds and hearts. Then home sweet home- back to the Christmas rush in the USA, back to piles of work and no breakfast croissants... Just don't be surprised when we kiss you on both cheeks and spend 2 hours eating lunch and drinking mint tea! Au revoir for now- we may or may not post again, depending on the internet situation. Pray for a safe trip home-getting stuck in Detroit a week before Christmas would be NO FUN!! Love to all - Cindy & the gals (oh, FYI- I am trying to stop Lisa from wearing her jingle skirt in the airport - she thinks it would be a good way to keep track of everyone - LOL)
