safely home

Blessed God,

Thank You!

We are home safely. Having traveled over a thousand miles without harm. Working together. And learning a lot.

Yes Father. We are safely home.

Reading of Paul and Barnabas’ First Missionary Journey (Acts 14) these are the words that strike Truth deep within me this morning, “…. launched by God’s grace and now safely home by God’s grace. A good piece of work” (v. 26).

Blessed Holy God, it IS Your grace of which we are most aware and grateful. While I do not liken any of our travels with the Gospel preaching assignments of these two believers, I am reminded of the theme we coined together so many years ago. “Praising God and having fun.”

We did exactly that this trip Father. At most every turn we were mindful that it was You behind all we experienced.

Thank You Father. Use all we experienced and learned on this time away to Your glory and the good of others. We love You Lord. And we long to serve You well. Make it so we pray.

Thank You. We love You. And we ask You this in Your Son’s most holy name. Amen.
