John 15:14,15

I recognized the big and beautiful campervan I saw today straight away. A long time ago I talked to the occupants. And today I knocked and said: ” Hallo!” The man told me that he recognized me.

Because of what was written on the back and on the front: “On Eagles Wings”
Isaiah 40:31
“but those who hope in the Lord
–will renew their strength.
–They will soar on wings like eagles;
–they will run and not grow weary,
–they will walk and not be faint.”
Luke 10:20
“However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 8:21
“He replied, ‘My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.'”
Hebrews 11:27 (RSV)
“By faith he (Moses) left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.”
“To endure is greater than to dare. To tire out hostile fortune, To be daunted by no difficulty, To keep heart when all have lost it; Who can say this is not greatness?” – William Thackeray
