My family and I are back home in Woodville after our adventure across the pond. We had an amazing, unforgettable experience. While we take time to get used to the time change and all, we are definitely feeling some culture shock. It may sound strange after being in a country where language is not the challenge but we are definitely aware that life is different in some ways here than it is in England.
We discovered most of all that people are people and that human beings share the same hopes and dreams and struggles no matter where we live. However it is a different country. The role of the government, the status of healthcare, the work of law enforcement just to name a few are different. As I have reflected on here throughout - the churches have many similar struggles but different starting places for their tasks.
We haven't quite put our fingers on everything but we know we have met and lived with another slice of God's world. It makes us all the more mindful that God created a big world and He is continually creating. At the same time, God loves you and me very personally. It boggles the mind and delights the heart.
We are excited to be home and thankful for the experience we just had. I'm looking forward to keeping this blogging conversation going. I'm hopeful that those of you in the UK and the US will continue to read so that the exchange will continue and we will learn from each other. As always, pass along the link to others so that our sharing can be broad and deep.
