My oldest daughter said she likes the blog but wondered why we named it LovingLisbon when we haven't even been there yet. Maybe it would have been better if we'd just used our names, but somehow in the process of researching where we are going and hearing from many random people (like the check out lady at the mall the other day who had been to Portugal on extended visits) say, "Oh, you are going to love Portugal - its people, its food...!" We are finding that God is beginning to make us feel that Portugal is our next "home" and that He will help us to love it as we have come to love Pennsylvania as home.
Today was a perfect summer day in Pennsylvania and at the end of the day we went outside to eat our supper and sit around our little patio table and just enjoy the beauty of the yard. We won't have a yard in Lisbon, but we will have a little balcony. We won't have a spot of our own that could pass for a nice corner in a state park, but we will be able to see a little green with a few trees. Most importantly though what we will have is a peace that we are following the Lord where He wants us to go and we know that what He provides for us will be just right and will help us to be "loving lisbon". After all, He loves Lisbon, too.

Praying for you all daily and looking forward to seeing all that the Lord will provide in the days ahead. It was such a blessing to have Danielle, Carolyn, and Ben with us for a few days. I love my cousins more each time I get to see them! Blessings. Steadman
