Two short weeks ago we said goodbye to our second group of students and last week the third and last group arrived on Wednesday.
It's an interesting thing you know, they come and go.
The students that is.
But it's more than that.
They aren't just students.
We share meals. We share laughter. We share tears and testimonies.
We share bus rides. We share cookies and camel rides.
We develop friendships and relationships that last longer than the normal on campus class.
Each student is unique. Each class is made up of different dynamics.
We become friends.
In a way our new friends are like sunsets.
Each one is unique. Each one shares a memory with me. Each one touches me.
But they are constant and leave a lasting impression that will be forever etched
in my heart, my mind and my soul.
It dawned on me the other day that Ron and I have only one hundred more sunsets to watch from our porch here in Jerusalem.
One hundred more sunsets.
One hundred new friendships.
I am blessed.
