God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Paris, Day 6

Today we took a day trip to Giverny, which is Monet's home.  He bought a farm house near Normandy and created two fabulous gardens.  His garden with the water lilies was inspiration for many of his paintings.  After visiting, it is easy to see why.





























































After strolling through Monet's house and gardens, we went to lunch at an old mill that has been converted into a restaurant.  We had another great meal and really enjoyed the French countryside.







Supper tonight was a dinner cruise on the River Seine.  We, of course, had great entertainment.  The food was lovely and it was neat to see Paris from the water, especially when the sun went down and the Eiffel Tower was lit up.

dessert - chocolate ball filled with fruit, ice cream, and sorbet - yum!
