I have lived in Oaxaca, Mexico for 5 months now. And, although I have quickly grown to LOVE Oaxaca, Mexico – the people of Oaxaca Christian School, the missionary families, my neighbors, the food, the scenery, etc…There really, truly is “No Place Like Home!”
It’s a fact, Oaxaca is near & dear to my heart! But, if truth be told, wherever my family is, THAT is my home! So, my home is Levittown, Pennsylvania. Up until now, the longest I’d been away from home was 10 weeks. You can imagine, I’d been counting down the days until I could go home for Christmas break!
As I waited at an exit door of the Philadelphia International Airport for my family, I saw this sign. I admit, it’s silly, but after so long away, it felt like a personal welcome back, so I took a picture!
Then, they surprised me by taking me to a barbeque restaurant in Philly on the way home, called Sweet Lucy’s. My brother had discovered that place a couple of years earlier & I’d always wanted to go, but hadn’t. That night was the first time I ordered ribs & they set the standard for the future, because they were AMAZING!!
“Thank you, Jesus, for safe travels home today & for blessing me with such an awesome family, who love me unconditionally! I really hope that during this break, I can see everybody on my list to catch up with their lives & to give them a glimpse of what You are doing in Mexico. Good night!”
