Returning

“Dear brothers and sisters, after we were separated from you for a little while (though our hearts never left you), we tried very hard to come back because of our intense longing to see you again.”  1Thessalonians 2:17 (New Living Translation)
Upon returning from the Czech Republic in August, I felt like I had left a piece of my heart behind.  God had showed us all how to love our Czech friends with His love.  Then we had to leave. There was a lot to be thankful for.
