need....
I needed that! It hit the spot.
Seeing most of my students' families come together,
sharing food from their countries was AWESOME!
No feuds. No terrorism.
Just coming together to break bread.
Sharing a space and moment in time.
Children laughing and playing.
Learning the beauty of community.
Seeing a slice of heaven.
Five or six countries were represented.
Different ages, different tongues, different faces.
One mind. Share. Eat. Relax. Enjoy.
Children lead us.
Leave our struggles and differences on the side.
Come together.
Don't give up coming together.
We need it.
STOP
Psalm 133:1 "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity." (NIV)
Revelation 7:9 "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands." (NIV)

I love when I get to enjoy time with people of different backgrounds. It was one of my favorite memories of living overseas. It's beautiful. Thanks for helping me remember such sweet memories. I needed that.
