a post trip post

As we are all processing our experience, I thought perhaps we could share a few thoughts on here so you can process with us!

Today's thoughts come from Lori DeVries. She shared with our group what she wrote in her journal on Saturday night (after being home 1 day), and has graciously allowed me to share it on our blog.

"Thank you God for the gift of senses.  We smelled, tasted, heard, saw and felt a whole new world that belongs to you.

Garbage, tangled wires, suffering, sadness.....but there is HOPE!
Sickness, dirty feet, ragged clothes, crying.....but there is JOY!
Crowded conditions, barbed wire, sewage, rotten smells.....but there is LOVE

Thank you God that you are in the sufferings and mess we experienced on our trip."
