arrival
Chores accomplished and time with a dear friend well spent, a journey to the airport commenced. Impeded only by the occasional driver who seemed undecided whether to chat on the phone or drive the vehicle, arrival at the terminal was as planned. Noting the flight arrival board showing the flight as being on time, I settled down comfortably for the few remaining minutes in the waiting area. I saw her first on the monitor. As I stepped around the corner peering down the gate area exit hall, my heart was jumping with joy as my arriving granddaughter sprinted toward me with arms wide open. Once again I peered into the beautiful face of this loving miracle and gave thanks for her safe arrival. With luggage secured, parking paid and airport behind us we were on our way to the waiting farm and ten days of sharing our hearts and home with one of God’s greatest gifts. Now as the dawn breaks on this new day, sun shines brightly over the eastern horizon as a reminder of the Creator’s presence. A day of adventures and discoveries is about to unfold and my cup of thankfulness is overflowing!
