It
was also called Mizpah, because he said, “May the Lord keep watch between you
and me when we are away from each other."
- Genesis 31:49
I am completely broken hearted. On
Saturday, I watched part of my heart leave.
My
very dear friends are returning to India for what we all hope is only a year.
But
watching them go just breaks my heart.
These
are good people, Christ followers and strong in their faith.
I
know God is watching over them, and me.
Jacob
and his father in law also had to part ways, but they made a promise, a
covenant to each other.
To
ensure that covenant was honored by both, they set up a pile of rocks, shared a
meal and offered a sacrifice.
Obviously
in this day and age, we will not offer a sacrifice, but we’ve shared several
meals and I will say that I have faith that the Lord will watch over both of
us, until the day when we can eat a meal together again.
Have
a blessed day.
