Homeward Bound


As the Norwegian Gem silently slips through the deep blue Mediterranean Sea just a couple of hundred miles from the home port of Venice, Italy, I realize that this wonderful two week cruise is about to end. The Lord blessed us with beautiful weather, smooth seas, and the ability to visit places we have never been. We came to realize that every part of the world has a unique beauty and specialness that makes those who live there love their land and take pride in their country. We found that people all over the world are basically the same…everyone wants to live in peace, enjoy life and live in freedom. We heard the word “freedom” and “liberty” more in the five days we spent in Greece than most of the years we have lived in and loved the good old USA. We have made new friends, seen new place and captured memories that will last a lifetime. As we near the end of this journey I realize that today will soon be yesterday, but we have enough memories to be enjoyed for many, many tomorrows.
