As we leave India, I think we feel a bit like the psalmist wrote:
"When Jehovah brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! How we laughed and sang for joy. And the other nations said, "What amazing things the Lord has done for them." Yes, glorious things! What wonder! What joy! May we be refreshed as by streams in the desert. Those who sow tears shall reap joy. Yes, they shall go out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, and return singing, carrying their sheaves." (Psalm 126, Living Bible)
It was like a dream...and in an instant, it is a memory. We are so thankful to God for his faithfulness to us, every step of the way. Through trekking the Himalayas, chasing the lizards, working the wheat harvest, treating the high fevers and diahrhea, loving the boys and seeing their big hearts, eating the Indian food, bouncing in the crazy car rides, swerving for the cows in the road, and all kinds of new experiences in a foreign land....He was right there with us.
We will be marked forever by India. We leave tomorrow with grateful hearts, in awe of the huge God we serve. He has filled our hearts with wonder... We stand amazed as He continues to take our breath away.
