You are right, Lisa talking with people actually involved makes any situation more real. builds understanding. Probably why bridges are better than walls.

You know Dolly I have prayed for peace off and on before but since this trip with more urgency. Our poor crazy world needs it. Heard California was getting quite a storm, Praying you are safe!

You are right about acting in love. So often we react with raw human emotions instead of love.

It was interesting that our guide was Christian and couldn’t vote yet had to pay taxes. The clerk who was Christian could vote if she was a citizen which she wasn’t yet. I didn’t fully understand that – may have had to do with nationalities too. made me appreciate our freedoms.

It makes such a difference when we meet a “real” person living in the midst of the chaos. Thanks for sharing her with us, Jean. I love hearing about your travels.

One God.” I’ll remember that image, my friend. Blessings!

What a deeply touching post you have today. I can just see the eyes of the clerk, hoping for prayers for her adopted country. How hard it must be to live in a country where she is the definite minority. And feels that pressure every day.
God is love. When we act with love, we are being like him. In so many places, we have forgotten what it’s like to love each other. May the celebration of the birth of Jesus flood this world with his grace and peace. We need it.
Blessings my friend,
Ceil
