"Seeing the goodness of God in the land of the living..."

Amsterdam

Heyha...
Our last few days have been incredible-following Holy Spirit as we go...
Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrant
Canals, Hot weather, Lots of walking
Old churches, Lots of learning about history
Praying for healing in ourselves and in this nation

Favorite blessing: Going to Corrie ten Boom's house
in Haarlem (a safe refuge for many people during the WWII, the family gave their lives for the Jewish people and many were rescued).
It is wonderful to see how much beauty and hope can
be found in the midst of such hardship.

We have been seeing the transience of earthly things...
This life on earth is quickly fading and we can find
our home in the recklessly abudant love of Christ.
LOVE TO ALL,
Joseph and Christy...p.s. photos soon.
