So picture this.........You receive an envelope in the mail and it's not addressed to you. You know what it is and you know you shouldn't open it. Your friends think it's okay because "you are the mom , Jill". More friends show up at the house and try to convince you that Martha Stewart has a fool-proof way to steam it open and reseal it without any trace of tampering. Your brother, who is in the FBI justifies opening it because it really doesn't fit the "tampering" criteria. The addressee is in another country and his whole future for the next two years is contained in that envelope....................WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Luckily Tanner will be home tomorrow and then we will all know where he is going on his mission and I can make plans for the holidays. When it arrived on a Saturday (I thought the 'usual' day they came was Wednesday) I recognized what it was immediately. I let myself tear up for 13.5 seconds and then gently leaned it against my Israel Pottery on the counter. It's been there ever since. I am so thankful that Tanner has chosen to take this path in his life right now. He is ready and worthy and now the Lord sees fit to call him somewhere in the world to share his joy, knowledge and testimony.
What if they miss their flight???????????????
