Paris

Have I ever mentioned that I have the best husband ever?  We arrived in Paris, took the train to our hotel and he asked me to go sit down and wait while he checked in.  There around the corner were our wonderful friends, Don & Sue!  What am amazing gift from him to have contacted them and arranged the visit.  What a wonderful gift for them to take the time out of their busy lives to drive to Paris and spend a night and day with us!  I feel blessed to be surrounded by people who love me.

A Sue claims, "The best way to experience Paris is on foot."  So we spent the day wandering neighborhoods, sampling pastries, sipping coffee and sharing meaningful conversation.  It was just a little catch-up but in this international life we have to grab the opportunities to spend time with those we love because we are scattered all over this earth.  How can we pray meaningfully for people we don't invest in?  It takes conversation and listening to understand one another's heart.  Only then can we pray with purpose.
