Last night Bethany and Elsie skyped us! It was so much fun to see Bethany with Elsie! It was almost as good as being there...except no hugs...It was as good as it gets right now though. While we were on with Bethany, Dave was setting up a time to meet with David and I was answering an email about Kirsten's birthday. She had just sent the email so I was glad to send the reply back so fast.
I love my kids. I missed my kids a lot yesterday. I am so thankful for the world that I live in now where I can see and hear and get instant messages from them.
Paul, in his letter to the church in Rome, says that he longs to see them...but he just can't right now so he prays and then still plans to go there.
I feel like I'm a lot like Paul in the desire to see those I love, but the difference is that I did get to see and quickly communicate with my loved ones, no matter the difference in miles away.
I want to be like Paul though in faithfully praying for my family. Paul says, "For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, taht without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you-that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine." (Romans 1:9-12)
