Nona's thoughts re:Oregon bound

We are leaving Sri Lanka in 5 more days to head for Oregon to spend Christmas with our children and grandchildren.  Our time on this beautiful island has been rich and full and we are forever grateful for the wonderful experiences we have had.  There is a new awareness in Popa and I about the real meaning of life here on earth.  It is truly just a mist, a vapor; but the other side is for all eternity.  I am trying to get my earthly baggage ready for the long trip home through Singapore but am really trying to sort through the baggage of my life and get of rid of anything that is unnecessary.  I use to hate it when I was younger and people talked about the wisdom that comes with age; yet it is at this junction of age that I realize how truly wise that particular statement was.  I am a rambler in thought and word, so now you realize why this blog is called Nona's Thoughts and you are likely to encounter all sorts of random sequenced thoughts.  I might also add that one of my college professor also expressed to me on several occasions how much I love run-on sentences.   More than anything else I am profoundly aware of how much the creator of Heaven and Earth loves me and is committed to my well-being from his perspective.  My next blog will post from my home office in Eugene, Oregon....until then may the joy of Christ be your portion and may your cup of peace overflow.  The anxious Nona of Elijah, Amelia, Gaige, Rachel, Dalton, Collin, and Colton.
