Shalom,
Finally home. Israel was wonderful, but it went by way too fast.
While I was in Israel, my younger children became sick with an intestinal virus and had to be hospitalized for dehydration. My oldest daughter at college was diagnosed with mono and has been flat on her back most of the time. My oldest son came home to his apartment in the city and interrupted a burglar and they had a physical altercation, but my son was not seriously hurt, just banged up. My poor husband held everything together but was totally exhausted and anxious for me to come home.
On Friday morning, we left Jerusalem and flew for about 13 hours. We arrived in Newark and about 4 hours later, we boarded the flight into Atlanta (about 3 hours). From there, we drove to the hospital (about a 5 hour drive with stops) where I found my 2 little ones, in hospital rooms next to each other, and my very tired husband.
I sent Tim home to shower and sleep and over the next 12 hours I went back and forth between the 2 rooms to sit with my darlings. They napped some during this time and I was able to close my eyes and reflect a bit on my time in Israel. I have so much I want to say, so much the L-rd has shown me in those days, so much He is speaking to me, but with all the activity going on with the family, Israel will have to wait.
Sunday afternoon, the children were well enough to come home and last night (Sunday), we all fell into our beds and slept.
Today, (Monday) will be a day of rest.
As I get the pictures from my camera and my tour-mates, I will post them.
More later…
