"Mom the police are here!"
One thing I never get used to is surprise police visits! Today it was to introduce the new "Manager of Foreigners " and ask us questions. Our family is the only foreigners in our area! So it is an honor and privilege to be here.I believe it is important to always show love,kindness,respect and do our best to win people's hearts. A "from the past Anti-foreigner" attitude can still be seen and felt at times. Some will still use the words" white devils" in reference to us, but we understand WHY. They had to live through EXTREMELY unimaginable hardships during the years when China forbid white foreigners .They lived with intensity of Communism,Great Starvation,Tiananmen Square Massacre and more! So I find it easy to love those who may treat us wrongly or with prejudice.Jesus spoke on the Cross " They know not what they do"...
Having said all that, MOST people here are the sweetest kindest people!The Chinese have become my people in many ways and always will be!
@weavers4jesus "easy to love those who treat us wrongly"
What a statement!
I'm still far from that, but circumstances are becoming our training programming more and more...

Deu 8:2: "And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee this forty years in the wilderness, for to humble thee, and to #prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no."
Rom 12:2: "And fashion not yourselves like unto this world, but be ye changed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may #prove what that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God is."
@Kruselady @weavers4jesus
It's whatever the Lord allows to happen in your life; so you can #prove yourself, be conformed to the image of His Son.
@erdenpilger @weavers4jesus I know that academy well. God is working in me
