Thankful for.....


For my last blog entry I feel like it’s more than necessary to just say how unbelievably thankful I am. A good friend of mine on the ship gave me a hug one day and said “I’m thankful for you”. What a beautiful thing to say! When I first started this entry I only had a few days left in Africa and I was going through the motions and mixed emotions of leaving a place that so many people call home.  Someone once described coming back to the ship with the analogy of ‘coming home (the ship) to a family that has changed (as all families do), where some members have moved on and left home, while others have joined the family (Mercy Ships)’. Perfectly said! 

I'm thankful for......
