Seeing the world from the air is kind of amazing. I love seeing the patterns of fields and city blocks. Watching the streams flow into rivers. It is a reminder of just how big this amazing world is. And even though I had a crazy day of travel--a vehicle that broke onto the runway in Philadelphia--really?!--I am amazed at this city. The people, the parks, the dogs, the hustle. Finding Deb at the airport was a God moment in itself.
It is good for us to be here--in this city that does not sleep--as we look forward to the arrival of baby niece/nephew. As we celebrate what is coming and what has been. Perhaps my assignment over the next few days is watching for the images of God--diverse and beautiful and unique as they are. And in the midst of that, I will laugh with this family that has taken me in and made me one of their own, I'll share stories with the family that is mine by blood, and, for all of them, be incredibly grateful.
