1.Deuteronomy 4:9
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them
Are we staying locked behind the wall to keep us safe?
I hope we can open the gate and take the steps out side the wall?
Is the fear of a traffic jam holding us back from life?
Do we fear the beware of dog sign without knowing what is really behind it?
What is really worth fearing? Looks pretty innocent to me.
Let's get on the bus and take a wild ride through life.
Let's not fear what is different.
The unknown can open our eyes.
Please do not let us forget what we have seen, never forget........
All I know and I have said it before that I never wanted to go to India. I had a whole list of complaints about it before ever even going there. As a teenager China was on the go to list and India brought vision of masses of people in slums and bathing in the Ganges. I do know that my plans are not my own. When I have time to reflect on life I just cannot forget India and my heart longs to go back. Maybe it is because my own little piece of India reminds me of it every day. I have to say that there are challenges to adopting the older child, but there are also many positives. We brought a person with another culture into our home. Adopting a baby or young child from another country they look like those of their native land, but do not know the culture. Sneha will never forget where she came from and that she is Indian through and through. She may live in America today, but when she dances it is from a far away land and a different time. She has opened my eyes and heart more than I ever knew a person could.
Proverbs 24:12 (New International Version 1984)
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
