It’s always fun to go to these missions conferences.  We always have a great time, meet great people and make some new friends (look at our ministry blog for more).  But it’s always nice to come home too.  Especially when there are 3 littles that run to the door and knock you over with their hugs and kisses!!

We have had a lot of discussions about “home” with Karis.  Since we have returned to the States, she has continued to ask when we are going home....to Prague.  We would talk about it and ask why she wanted to go home.  It always came to her wanting to play with a blue ball she has in Prague, of all things!! =)

Recently we have switched to saying that wherever we are as a family is home and that our true home is in heaven.  Makes for some great discussions!!  But isn’t it so true?!  Prague is where some of our things are, but we also have some things in Fort Worth too.  Really, we don’t have a home on this earth and as a family I find it important to continue in talking about heaven as our true home and not making a home on earth.  With our type of ministry we never know where we may end up!  Our organization is in the middle of a reorg which may take us somewhere else, and although we do not know where that may be, and are very anxious to find out, we have a peace that God will put us right where He wants us!!

We’ve been trying to prepare Karis for the possibility of a new location (temporary home on earth) and I think she is ok with the idea, especially since we’ve been talking about our home being our family is together and our forever home in heaven.  Prayers for what lie ahead for our organization and specifically our family would be greatly appreciated!!
