Dorthy, of Wizard of Oz fame, had it right.
"There's no place like home!"
After two flight delays, we arrived in Alabama only a couple of hours late.
We were happily greeted with this:
These are 3 of our 4 grands, and we were happy to see our two daughters and their kids.
Our old house (built in the 20's) had been empty for a couple of weeks, and you could tell. Still it was terrific to get back to our home of 28 years.
Driving on the right side of the road has been a bit difficult for me, but Brenda has adapted quickly. I still have trouble finding the turn signal, even after driving for almost a week. I have been twice, briefly on the wrong side of the road in parking lots, but am catching on.
We attended worship with our old congregation and it was very comfortable to be back "home" there too.
The most amazing part has been how relaxed it has been. We are struggling with jet lag, in part due to the lack of sunshine here. We have had more rain in one week here than in our 10.5 mos in Africa.
If it feels this good to be back home. If it feels this good to be back in our earthly home, think how glorious it will be to get to our heavenly home!
