Bloom Where You're Planted
Jul. 3, 2009
Greetings From the Reformation 500

Wow!  What an amazing three days we have had!  We have met some wonderful families, listened to some fascinating speakers, learned some interesting historical facts, delved into some deep theological teaching, walked the freedom trail, and had lunch in Boston Common.  My children have met some of the great reformers of the past (reenacters, dressed in costume and portraying historical figures) and we had the privilege of hearing the very talented Charlie Zahm perform.  My husband got to meet and talk with both Geoff Botkin and Kevin Swanson (the highlight for him so far) and I got to enjoy "fitting in" with a thousand other people, even if it is only for a few short days.  It can be lonely walking the path on which God has placed our family, and it has been such and unspeakable blessing to meet and spend time with other families who have the same goals, vision, and ideals we do.

Overall, it has been a full but good week and I am so very grateful to the Lord for allowing us to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

I'll be sharing pictures once we get home (I forgot my memory card reader and my laptop is not equiped with one--can't have everything!).

I'm so glad to hear how your family was blessed. It does get kind of lonely, doesn't it? I'm happy that your family was able to spend time with like minded people. I hope that hopeful, joy stays with you all a very long time. In Jesus name!

What fun! If we would have known, we would have saved our Boston vacation a couple of years ago and went with VF. And, it is VERY nice to spend time with those that are like minded.

Can't wait to see the pictures
To His Glory,
Christine
