FOR SUNDAY: What life in Africa taught me

[JimT]

- Time is not more important than people.
- It is good to learn to grieve with those that grieve.
- Happiness does not consist of stuff. It consists of people you love and who love you.
- Nothing in life is perfect. The most beautiful country in the world has mosquitoes!
- You can have an amazing life without electricity, air conditioning or running water. But those things are really nice.
- The art of waiting.
- The joy of people.
- That joy is not connected with circumstances.
- To be content with what you have.
- To live in the grace of one day at a time.
- That a mango eaten in the shade of a tree on a hot day is more refreshing when shared with a friend.
- That sometimes asking questions is better than giving instructions.
- Even those in poverty are loving, kind, giving and enjoy sharing what they have.
- The rich are not people with a lot of stuff. The rich are people who need the least.
- Patience
- The importance of being WITH someone today! Appreciating them NOW! And communicating that to them in the moment!
- The strength of children.
- The harmony of love despite differences.
- The exterior of a person means little to nothing. It's what they are inside, that is vital.
- The power of community in the Holy Spirit.
