At the Vatican with our Testimonia
-- issued to pilgrims who have completed the Via Francigena. |
Our final stamp at the Vatican |
God equals boundless love – God shows himself to each of us in his own way.
For me, it’s been through the Catholic Church
– the spirituality and the sacraments deepen my relationship with God. But that’s my path. Others feel boundless love in different
ways. Worship in different ways. Even see God differently. It’s all part of the great mystery. John and I are blessed to share a deep faith
– even though we worship differently.
Children are amazing
-- Everywhere we went we were drawn to the children…playing…laughing…somehow speaking Italian! It’s like we’ve been given a new connection
with the future. We see our
grandchildren in every child.
Meg inspired us – John’s oldest daughter Meg (my daughter through sheer love) has a unique ability to embrace every moment – she is boundless positive energy.
We’re ready to get a dog – that might like a random thought, but its part of settling in to our new life. Realizing that we have room for that kind of commitment – welcoming a completely different kind of adventure.
We really like each
other – we laughed a lot…at ourselves…at our crazy situations. In the midst of stress (exhausted after
walking 18 miles, hungry, lost…) we
were never cross with each other. We
were in it together. We had fun.

She jumped right in to living in Luxembourg
with four kids...where they don’t really speak English. She laughs and is flexible when facing a
challenge.
We tried to bring some of
that Megan spirit on this trip. When we
didn’t understand what was happening – we thought of Meg. When we were uncomfortable because of
language barriers – we thought of Meg.
Meg’s light kept us open to the adventure.
We love English Springer Spaniels
like this little girl. Who will she be? Dixie? Miss Chicory? Sister LuLu? Who knows? |
