The Miracle of "Skype"




I am having so much fun.  My daughter and son in law and I have recently discovered "Skype".  Tonight, he is trying to teach me a little Hebrew.  I am not  catching on very fast. :) We not only get to talk to each other, we get to see each other!  Even when I am having a "bad hair day" or horror or horrors, no lipstick on, we are still so happy to sit and chat, chat,chat.  I miss them very much and this is really helping me connect even though we are  many miles apart.  
She is my first child to move so far from home and I have to say, it is not fun.  I feel that my heart expanded to cover the distance between that far away state and our own.  My world expanded.  It reminds me of that Jabez prayer that was so popular a few years ago.  I remember reading "The Prayer of Jabez" in the Paris airport as my husband and I were flying home after an anniversary trip.  "Lord, expand my boundaries".  Well, He certainly has.  Watch out what you pray for.  
Lord, bless this beautiful couple.  Amen!

A storm is brewing.  I am sitting on my back porch with our three small dogs, and the thunder is rolling.   Such a promise.  I hope it is soon fulfilled.  How often these days the signs of rain come...and how often the rain passes me by.   Maybe today...
