FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

I recieved an email this morning from a very special and real friend. This person sums up my experiences in a way that I would not be able to write to you about from my perspective. However I wanted to share it with you as it reveals the realities of my day to day living here in Gulu, Uganda. - Thank you my friend, who sent me this email...

It is as follows:

Hi !

I make my attempt in each word I write to find words that can uplift your day, maybe even help you see the sun bursting through the sadness of all those children and ladies who have had so much pain and sorrow in their life. We as humans never really can appreciate what sorrow others must deal with till we are faced with the reality of their story. Those humans who have the patience to have their EARS’ just listen, the soft VOICE to speak kindness and support as their pure HEART allows them to feel the pain of others, is a phenomenal gift from God. I can only imagine how hard it must be on you to hear of the sorrow and pain that has torn through the life of these loving humans, that you mingle with daily, learning of their culture and presenting who you are to them. God has always given humans the greatest protection in the face of fear, sorrow and pain… LOVE

When humans allow HATE to replace LOVE is when we fail as humans. I pray you continue to spread your LOVE, God be with you.


One word frees us

Of all the weight and pain in life,

That word is Love
