Enjoying Part II

Talk about enjoying people! I am loving the people I daily get to work and live with here in this community. God is so good and He has placed me, in this season, in a community unlike any other I know. He has given me access and means to an old manor in the South of England that has been transformed into a Christian conference centre, manned mostly by volunteers from around the world. And these are the people I get to live life with--Brazilians, Spaniards, Czechs, Hungarians, Koreans, Germans, Ugandans, Kenyans, Mongolians, etc. I have never known so many people from so many places! And I love them all.

It's been such fun to watch these precious people live and work and relate to each other and to be in the midst of it all. Each nationality is so unique. The Brazilians are loud and full of life, the Germans are punctual and straight-forward. The Hungarians are absolutely beautiful and the Koreans will do anything for you. The Africans are cheeky and the Czechs are always active. But despite our differences, it's what we have in common that is the most important. A Creator who knows us intimately, who designed each of us and specifically chose our nationality, the country and the city we would call home, the One who brought each of us here for such a time as this, the Man we love to worship and serve here in our unique ways that combine to make one beautiful international expression of love for Him.
