When I read the line towards the end of the book, "The snug log house looked just as it always had. It did not seem to know they were going away." I totally choked up.
When we drove away from our house this June after the big push to get out. Josh was in one car I was in the other. We were tired. It was late. There was no moment.
Maybe that's because our teammates are living there and renting the place for a short time while they study language so I know I'll be back there when I go to see them.
Maybe it's because our remodeling hasn't finished so we've left a lot of our big furniture there, and it feels like we haven't really moved.
Maybe it's because we only live a few minutes down the road.
But I can't forget that is the house Kendra came to at 11 months.
The home we brought Luke to from the hospital.
The home where all our kids stood on the front porch to take their first day of school picture.
The home where Josh first introduced Blake to Scout.

Is that also the home where some neighborhood girls came to read Christy Miller books? 3 of whom delighted Anna with their company last week?
I give thanks for you!
Love,
