Windows

I haven't seen an abode without windows.  I know I would never prefer to live in such a place.  I love how windows let in natural light, and they show a view of what is going on in your little piece of the world. 

Some look out their window and see beaches (I'm jealous!) , some see mountains,  some see forests, some see well-manicured lawns, some see a busy city with lots of action going on all around.  My view is cornfields and neighbors with green and yellow machines that cost more than my home!  I see barns and young teenagers picking sweetcorn and melons for produce stands.  I love my view with all the seasons that come and go.  The tall sturdy trees that are thick with green, will soon be vibrant reds, oranges and yellows.

In a few weeks,  my view will look totally different. instead of tractors; rickshaws.   instead of barns; pagoda,  instead of baseball caps; conehats.   I am going to a land that I never thought I would visit.  I have heard it's name as a young girl,  associated it with war and death, but, now I am pouring over books and websites, appreciating it's beauty.

I am praying God will change not only my physical view, but also my spiritual view.  I pray God will open my heart and His light would shine through.  I  would love you to come along with me!   Please join me for my wonderful adventure to Vietnam!
