One of our neighbor’s has been hosting a couple of Chinese teachers in a program where they are learning to teach English. I got to meet and chat with them for a bit. They were very joyful, respectful, and grateful. Today there was a story on the news of our local Fire Department who has “adopted” a Fire Department in Mexico. The firefighters from Mexico came and spent time with those from my area. In the broadcast, those from Mexico were so appreciative and said, “God bless these people”, a couple of times. It reminded me that while politicians and those with “authority” are battling it out, there are regular people reaching across borders and helping one another without prejudice or expecting anything in return.

I Found God today in people graciously and generously helping “foreigners”.
