It snowed yesterday morning! I could not believe it. Friday was so warm and humid but then Saturday morning...flurries. It did not stick or anything but WOW. Crazy Georgia weather!
It was nice again today though and they are calling for 70s this week. This morning at church we had a guy speak to us from Papua, New Guinea...a native. His English was pretty bad but his point got across for sure. He was talking about how he came to America for the first time in August 2007. He took the 4 hour walk to the main road to catch a truck to ride to the airport to catch a plane to the US...but did not have a ticket yet. He had never even seen a seatbelt and did not know what to do with it airplane so you can imagine his shock when he got to the USA. He is here for the opportunity to be educated in order to go back to his country and help train his people to spread the Gospel throughout. It was very sweet and motivating! His ambitions to go WAY outside of his comfort zone to fufill his calling. What struck me is how we take so much for granted here. We sit in our nice big well-lit building on comfy seats every Sunday only after we drive our nice cars and stop at Starbucks, then afterward head to our favorite place for Sunday lunch and go home for a nap, then do it again the next week. Sometimes it feels so shallow. I need to answer the question what more can I do? Just a little food for thought.
I had some time to play with the boys outside, they were adorable as usual. What a blessing! But at end the day, there is nothing like being beat by a 4-year-old in Hi-Ho The Cherry-O! It's the little things in life!
