'till we meet again

Saying "good bye" to my family is always hard for me - but a part of our lives now that our kids have grown up.
After a wonderful week at Gull Lake, Friday morning came, and with it lots of saying "good bye" to Ben and Rebekah, Matt, Daniel, and earlier in the week, to Jason and Elizabeth and Candice. Rachel came home with us for a week, but on Monday, Aug. 7th , we'll be saying "good bye" to her as she flies back to Tawian.
We are so thankful that all of our children "walk in the truth" and are serving the Lord around the world! We wouldn't want them any other place but in the center of God's will, and where He has them located. (It does make great vacations for Dad and me!)
I do admit I shed some tears when they leave, but I get excited looking forward to the next time I'll get to see them!
We already have some great times to look forward to...
*****Monday, we're going to Grand Rapids with Rachel while she is here and see Daniel and his home he is working on, and of course go out for supper!
*****The end of September we'll travel to South Carolina to see Ben, Rebekah and our new grandbaby
*****We get to see Jason and Elizabeth as they are less than 3 hours away every once in awhile
*****We're thinking of meeting Rachel and Matt for a few days in Hawaii on our way to Taiwan (maybe sometime in February)
So let's not say "good bye"...instead lets say "'till we meet again!"
