We awoke at 7:30 AM after a good night’s sleep and went to the hot tub and pool before breakfast. It felt good to work out the kinks before our long flight. The outdoor air was cool and steam rolled off our bodies as we climbed out of the hot tub and jumped into the pool to cool off (actually, Dan jumped in and Rhonda eased her way down the stairs). We ate breakfast at the hotel – eggs benedict for Dan and the buffet for Rhonda with delicious fresh fruit.
We headed for the LAX international terminal three hours before our scheduled 1:00 PM departure and used most of that time to check in, walk our checked bag through the TSA screening line, and make our way through security to Gate 43. As we watched the huge 747 and the people who would soon board it with us – all ages, sizes and nationalities and so different from one another – Rhonda wondered at how God knows each of us, even our anxious thoughts. Priscilla Litty shared the following Scripture passage before we left – very appropriate:
“Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O Lord, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” Psalm 36:5-9
