We are just starting to go beyond saying “Bonjour” to actually talking with and getting to know those around us. We are feeling homesick and yet we are seeing God’s goodness and power in big and little ways each day – like the healing of Shannon’s shoulder pain, an American friend for Thaddeus in his class, a gymnastics club for Eila to join, Josiah’s free skiing lessons with school, delicious bread (among other treats!) and the sun shining on the mountains outside our window.
I lift my eyes to the mountains… My help comes from the Lord.
Psalm 121:1-2
