Packing Up

I took this picture of my kids upon returning home from their second trip out of the home country to visit the grandparents in Belize. Those backpacks were loaded with fave blankets and fave soft animal toys. Every time I see this snap, it nearly brings tears to my eyes - seeing my kids so happy and holding hands.

I'm in the home country to pack up our main house here. We're putting it on the market. I'm still sad about such a permanent thing - selling a house. But, as I scroll back through old photographs, I realize my children are getting to live extraordinary lives. So, as long as we have a home - as opposed to just a house - somewhere, then all is well with the world. My faith, my family and my friends - those things do not change with the sale of a 'house'. Faith, family and friends only grow and deepen over time, and that's a good thing.

Peace.
