Well here we are at home six days later. The journey home was pretty uneventful, thankfully. We did sit across the aisle from a family whose little boy spent the long journey across the Pacific coughing!! Not sure if our sore throats are a result of that!! The only other hitch was to arrive back in Christchurch minus two bags!! On reading the baggage claim slips, we discovered that these two had been labeled to travel only as far as Sydney! SO - we are waiting for them to arrive, hopefully today.
Today we'll take it easy - rest some, unpack the bags we have!, and get ready to drive to Blenheim tomorrow to see our family there.
As I reflect over the past ten weeks - I saw God coming in surprising and life changing ways, times of distress and wonderings, as we ploughed through uncomfortable conversations but with outcomes that drew us closer together, beauty of God's creativity, marvellous creativity in prayer, wonderment and laughter of grandchildren, uncertainty, dance and movement, disappointment, death of our sister in law...to name a few.

I really saw life as it is - goodness and light, mixed with pain and sorrow. Ps 139.11, 12 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be (the only) light around me, Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both the same to You. (Amplified)
