Day 7
Unfortunately David was unable to change our flights so we had a long day to get home. We left our hotel at 7:00 our time, got on our flight at 10:00, flew through 7 time zones to Chicago then had a 7 hour wait. Then it was on to home. Where we actually got home 40 minutes early. It was great to be home and my bed was so comfortable. The girls had all made us a wonderful welcome home sign and when you picked up each page it was written in Italian underneath. So traveling time home was from leaving the hotel to arriving at our home 24 hours. I really enjoyed our trip. It was so good to spend time together. The sights and history were so amazing. There was something special about seeing structures that are thousands of years old and were around when Jesus walked here, were just overwhelming. Seeing place that you have only read about was well, cool. The reality of the Christian heritage hits home in Rome, where for 100's of years it was illegal to be a Christian and there were so many of Christians tortured and murdered. How strong is ones faith to stand for Christ when you face torture and ultimately death. There are still places like that in this world, my heart goes out to Christians in these areas. I love the United States of America and am grateful for the freedom of religion and the fact that this country was founded on the Christian beliefs of our forefathers. God moved in Constantine's heart to legalize Christianity in Rome. May God do the same in other nations. What a blessing this trip has been for David and I and I hope you have all enjoyed reading about it.
