Happy NONA

It has been about 3 weeks since I posted on this site. Time has way of slipping by more rapidly than I can imagine. Popa and I were Indonesia for 11 days; that explains at least part of the passing of time. Then for the last 5 days we have not had internet here at the flat, UGH! Today, however, I am a very Happy NONA wi-fi is back! Being out of communication with those we love seems so painful and I cannot help but wonder if that is how God feels when we aren't communicating with HIM. Tomorrow promises to be a day filled with the Lord's family, Popa and I are traveling outstation about 1 1/2 hours for church. Popa will be preaching and then we will have lunch with the Pastor and his wife. God is ever faithful and always present in our lives. We marvel at HIS patience with us and the continual love and favor HE bestows upon our lives. On a personal note, we missed our grandson's birthday celebration this past week. It is the first time in eight years we have not been there with the family. It has been 6 days and I am still feeling a little sad. The hardest part of being in Sri Lanka is being away from our children and grandchildren. More later, from a lady who loves being able to communicate in almost any fashion. As ever, NONA

Hot Thoughts

Popa and I are still in Sri Lanka. Enjoying the culture and the people. Lots has changed since we came here almost 30 years ago. We have furnished a small flat, it is really a four room apartment. The bedroom is the biggest room, we have a sitting room, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. It is very comfortable and we are delighted to have a place of our own. We will be leaving on Friday to go to Indonesia, having never been there before we are anxious to see their culture and people. We will be there for twelve days and then return back to Sri Lanka. I really need to get some laundry done and a few things packed for the journey but I am procrastinating. I am often reminded that mankind fails to be ready for the greatest journey of their lives. They fail to insure where they will spend eternity. One thing is sure none of us leaves this earth alive. We are destined to face eternity; the question is will it be in heaven with a loving God or in hell because we have rejected HIS love? I trust each of you will make the decision to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and insure for yourself a heavenly home when it time to leave this earth. God is ever faithful and HIS mercies never come to an end. Call upon HIM while HE may be found. In the tropics, NONA
