Hi Everyone,A few nights ago we had a HUGE, gorgeous full moon. Because we were coming off of the rainy season, we hadn't seen a full moon in a long while. Crist and I stood outside our apartment just oohing and aahing. We took a picture - and look at what happened - it looks so small, doesn't it?But looking at the moon made me remember that animated cartoon of many years ago - An American Tale - about two mice that are separated and one night each of them look up at the sky and see the beautiful moon and even though they're apart they feel comforted by the fact that the person they love is seeing the same thing that the other is seeing. Then a really pretty song is song, Somewhere Out There. I remember some of the lyrics:
"And even though I know
How very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star."
That's how we're feeling too. Most of you are in the states and we're here in Nigeria - but we do share the same big moon and the same Creator that created that moon. This gives comfort when a moment of homesickness kicks in. The next time you're enjoying a full moon - think of Crist and I and smile.
Chat with you again soon.
In-joy,
Eileen and Crist
Judy and I are thinking about you two. And how about these words:
