Courting ~ Day 7

Monday, July 20, 2009



We made breakfast again. That was one of my favorite things that we did together.

We drove about an hour to a WW II American and Polish cemetery.

It was beautiful. Maybe I'm odd, but I enjoy cemeteries, especially ones with historical significance. It was neat to see Biblical inscriptions on the stones and know that some of those brave men had gone Home--truly to a better place.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." ~ Psalm 23:4

Many of those boys buried behind us were younger than Russell when they died. How tragic that they never got to enjoy life and its pleasures...as we do. That thought makes me very thankful to God.

"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead." ~ Isaiah 26:19

We ate dinner at La Place.

Russell wanted to take me home with him, but then we thought it might be more comfortable for me if I had a little air to breathe and such. (chuckle)

So, my baby bear got to go in the suitcase instead, along with more of my stuff. It was strange for Mom to have to start packing her daughter's things. I wonder how Rebekah and her family felt when she left to marry Isaac... I guess we're going to find out soon enough.

We spent the evening on that patio uploading pictures onto Russell's blog and talking, with Mom present, until around midnight.

Our last picture together before Russell and Bro. Buddy left at 4:30am to fly back to Florida. We had a very nice visit. Praise the Lord! God was and still is sooooooooooo good!

Time is ticking... April 17, 2010, is getting closer every moment.
