Shalom from Jerusalem

Wednesday was our first day back at work in the Garden, with visitors from around the world.  The day was beautiful with many reminders of why we are here - sharing the Gospel with visitors in the midst of the most wonderful visual aid of all time. 
There is something very special about standing in front of the empty tomb as you remind people that He lives!
 
The garden itself is beautiful.  Surprise surprise - flowers are blooming in February in Jerusalem - an incredible reminder from God that ... though He was dead yet He liveth!  
  
  
We are living in a different apartment this year.  It is one of the largest apartments.  We are looking forward to our grandchildren, Jeff & Kristin, coming next week.  Dean, Tracy & Torrey will visit mid March and Laurie and Amanda will visit in April.

Miss you so much! I got giggly this morning when I remembered that we will be there 4 weeks from tomorrow ... can't believe it! One of my moms just shared with me that the garden was her favorite place when they visited Israel.
