Reynie smiled and glanced over at him. "We've always come back to this table. Every time we've gone and done something dangerous together, we've come back here and sat around this table."
"And talked about everything that happened," Sticky said, nodding. "And enjoyed feeling safe."
They stood in silence for a time, taking in the room together.
"Let's make sure we do that again," Reynie said.
We celebrated an early birthday for Margreet since she and Henk are leaving the Solomon Islands tomorrow. I'm still in awe that they keep coming back. That we get to sit around the table once again and talk about everything that has happened. That we get to feel safe together.
That we get to tell stories of the Lord's faithfulness in our lives, even during hard times. There were no dangerous boat trips this time. But there was lots of laughter and the traditional birthday cheesecake and games and hard work, shoulder to shoulder. I think this is a trend we should continue.
