Anyway - I had a beautiful time in Australia. It is always wonderful to see our children and grandchildren and to see and experience that they are also God's covenant children. That is the greatest joy of all!!! And you know - when you have been away for 4 weeks - it is so very electrifying to see your spouse again - an awesome feeling!!! I am so thankful that I could be there for the children and that God granted me travelling mercies and also that I could arrive home safely to Fred. We stayed overnight in the city before going home - and that was such a thrill! It was also wonderful to see all the children and grandchildren at home as well.
