Our most recent adventure has started. After a long day (or two) we are now a third of the way around the globe in the land of Israel. We are in our lodging place and resting.
What a start to our trip. Murphy is credited with a law that states, “If it can happen, it will.” And before we left, it did. I have heard that bad things happen in threes, and I hope so, because that's where we're at right now.
The first thing that we found out about was a housing glitch in Israel. One of the places we were going to stay fell through. I worried, then I prayed. I have the assurance God will take care of us, and there is adventure ahead. Stay tuned.
Then came the second item, at 8:00 the evening before we left the refrigerator at my mother-in-law's broke. Fortunately one of the caretakers was in the house late and informed us of the breakage. Fortunately Lowes was still opened, and within an hour we had bought a new refrigerator, and arranged for delivery.
While in the airport in Charlotte, while waiting to take off, we received word that one of our helpers who was to take care of Betty while we were gone fell and received an injury (broken arm). Fortunately another worker dropped by to pick up a check at the exact time that happened so was able to help her out. The second worker who is also a teenager in high school stepped forward to help find other people to carry the load. God is good.
Our flight was interesting because we are approaching the Jewish holiday of Lag BaOmer, and many Chasidic Jewish men were on the plane to attend. The davening at the airport and the early morning prayer on the airplane were fascinating.
We flew over Ireland, England, France, Serbia, and Greece. Above is what I think is Thessolonica.
Our adventure has begun, I know great things are ahead, stay in touch.
