We’ve got a bit of time before our next flight and discovered a free WiFi connection in the McDonalds here at the Frankfurt, Germany airport, so I wanted to write a brief update.
It’s hard to believe we are so far from home now. Justin and I left for the Vancouver airport at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. It is now almost 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night back home, but here in Germany it’s almost 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. People are having breakfast and coffee, watching the sun rise for the last half hour or so.
Our first flight took us from Vancouver to Toronto in four and a half hours. On the flight we did devotions and I opened up my Bible to Psalm 24. I think the first two verses are going to be part of my daily reading as we travel.
‘The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; For He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.” – Psalm 24: 1-2
I love this passage because it reminds me that no matter where I am in the world, it is the Lord’s territory. If I’m in Chilliwack or Cranbrook, if I’m in the Ukraine or Uganada, the Lord is there also. It’s funny how these passages that seem so simple can have such impact when you’re faced with new circumstances.
Our second flight felt incredibly long with the seven and a half hour flight from Toronto to Frankfurt. Anyway, just wanted to briefly update as we continue on our way. We’ll be sure to share some of our first impressions of the Ukraine and what we’re discovering when we get settled and find internet at our destination in Nikopol, Ukraine.
