Well David hit a port a couple of days ago. This is always very exciting. It means phone calls. I am sure we spend a ton of money on all of the calling cards but hey it is 3 months of phone calls mushed into 3 days.
He is happy to be on land and to walk around. Just simple things like fresh air, a mall to walk around in, sand and trees make such an impression on them. It has been a while since they were last on land, a very stressful few months. They work really hard doing what they do. But seeing the same people 24/7 gets old, fast. They also work 7 days a week with no breaks, so these port visits are super fun.
I am happy to be able to speak to him. I forget the sound of his voice. I forget how he laughs at my jokes. I forget how he rambles about nothing and I have to remind him we only have 30 minutes. I forget how good it feels to have my best friend, even if it is just on the phone.
I mentioned in my last post that my sister's friend had her twins prematurely. This family, The Phillips, still need your prayers, your fervent prayers. They lost one of the twins on Thursday morning.
I don't even know what to say. It has really bothered me, and made me so sad. God is so mysterious, and I do not understand this world and the horrible things that can happen. Sometimes it is so hard to see what part of this world is still good.
But I do know there are so many things in this life that are wonderful. God blesses us with many beautiful, peaceful, happy moments. Yet, we must also live through the devastating ones.
I really wish this world was a perfect place.
