I should be seeking out those that I have Christ in common with, and then living in community with them no matter what our PETTY little differences are. We, especially in the the American church, are WAY to comfortable with this home (the world) that actually is NOT our home! When tribulation comes, we will be forced into community with one another, but best to have that mindset BEFORE it gets here. Thank you for that word picture!<br /><br />Blessings to you all! :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377886456080538939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326598675034296289.post-12831382606224150752009-11-30T02:54:34.078-08:002009-11-30T02:54:34.078-08:00I am so glad you are there and safe and I LOVE tha...I am so glad you are there and safe and I LOVE that you met Ellen and Andy and Frank! This is such a small world isn't it? lol <br /><br />We're praying for you and the kids at home and the baby and Ana! I can't wait to hear how your meeting goes!<br /><br />Your family and her will always be so close to my heart. I know my staying up late trying to win MckMama's competition is nothing compared to all that you and your husband and family have done to bring Ana home or to help promote the light of the orphans but what a blessing it has been for me to see this entire process through your family. <br /><br />If I ever get tired and wonder if all the time put in is worth it I only have to remember you and Ana and I know there are so many more children getting their families for having followed your journey.<br /><br />And you are such a gifted writer, I love reading the things God is showing you through this! Thank you for sharing your heart and journey with all of us!Lu, Poppies Bloominghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055450775885665928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326598675034296289.post-80694915485907881672009-11-29T20:51:33.967-08:002009-11-29T20:51:33.967-08:00I too was touched by your last paragraph...sums up...I too was touched by your last paragraph...sums up the meaning of life pretty well. <br />It is scary and fun exploring other countries (I have not done much of it mind you) and learning/observing the local customs. It really does show you how alike we really are when you can filter out the "noise" of culture and custom.<br />Our basic humanity remains common world wide.<br />Children are the best demonstrators of this... they do the same things, play the same way, everywhere on this planet. I love that!Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270310658576141558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326598675034296289.post-18103848645110260462009-11-29T20:08:53.726-08:002009-11-29T20:08:53.726-08:00Sounds like you had a very eventful and wonderful ...Sounds like you had a very eventful and wonderful day.

Sorry about that!<br /><br />I'm so glad you were able to connect with other RR families. Praise God for his timing on each of your travels. And I loved the last paragraph... yes, a lesson we all need to learn to apply more.<br /><br />MISS YOU!!!!!
