These past two months have been a whirlwind. I miraculously made it to America and back to Laos. Two years apart changes a person. However, I was met with grace on both sides. Time changes a person but so does love. I was overwhelmed by so many things but perhaps the biggest thing was people's kindness and grace. People often when I told them of things that happened would reply you're a more gracious person than I would have been, or man you look at things with such grace. I owe that to my father. He always taught me that it was better to be gracious than right and strived to live that example. Both my heavenly Father and earthly one emit that radiance. I couldn't have that perspective without them. So remember when trials come or faced with adversary it is better to be gracious than right and hopefully when the tides are turned the people you showed grace to will show it back. Thankful for such wonderful people in my life on both sides of the globe. This is only possible by His grace not my own. May I live to honor Him alone!
