We are
off. Gordon picked us up at 6 am and our
flight left to Atlanta on time. This,
again, is going to be a trip of a lifetime.
It is another momentous event, a dream we had never dreamed, a wish that
we had never wished for. Nonetheless,
this ultimate of blessings is playing out before our eyes.
It was that
first day in Oslo when Ben and Penny announced that they have “a
situation”. They are expecting a child. Now, seven months from
that announcement, Barb and I gather near Atlanta to be here for Ben and Penny
as they welcome their baby. We do not
know the gender. We do not know
precisely when. But today we sit, at one
of our favorite spots on God’s green earth, their lake home on Oconee, just 60
miles from Ben and Penny’s home, and wait for the call or text that their child
is on the way. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
