Good-Bye, Puerto Rico!

 Good-bye, Puerto Rico - “Isla del Encanto!” Good-bye, and I wonder when – if ever – I may see you again? I've loved listening to the night orchestra, your little coqui's leading the music. I've loved the view from high on one of your mountains, blue ridge upon blue ridge away in the distance, and the green, green valley below. I've looked out over the sea that surrounds you and loved watching the waves breaking your shore.

“With joy and with weeping much seed has been sown”....well, I think it was only a few seeds. As to the weeping, those seeds were watered with a few tears, but they were tears of thankfulness; tears moved by my unworthiness and thankfulness to the One who IS worthy.

I won't forget our friends here. I won't forget the heartfelt invitations to “Come back to us!” I hope one day I can....if it is the will of the One who plans the way. As we heard yesterday, “our times are in His hands”.

Now we move on. I'll wave good-bye, and hope to “see” you again in the Dominican Republic.
