View of the Cathedral from the roof
This time of year what looms large upon my personal horizon is the knowledge that soon I will return to the US for my annual Thanksgiving and Christmas visit with family. Since this visit is usually three or four months long, it means getting ready to make My Annual Move. This year, just beyond that horizon is another: making my move out of the apartment and into my mission field, Europe.
Friends in Milan have expressed sorrow at the idea of losing me. But I know that Milan is a place where God will keep bringing me back. God hasn’t said as much to me, but I feel it in my heart. I love Europe, but most of all, I love Milan.
Today God gave me a parting gift. On Facebook a few days ago I had seen pictures that friends of mine took. They showed a view of Milan that I had never seen before: from the roof of the Galleria. I asked for details about how to get to the roof of the Galleria because I hadn’t even known that it was possible to go up there.
So today Tim and I went up there. And here are the pictures that I took of that experience—my parting gift from God. God is good!
