Last week, I
drove about 2,000 miles for a four-night, 5 day-vacation with my family. Our
first destination was Niagara Falls, and we went through the states of
Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. On the road coming back home we visited
two locations, Ann Arbor and Mt. Clements in Michigan, to meet our Hope Korean
Church family and our First Presbyterian Church family. As time goes,
relationships with people in the past become more and more precious and the
desire to go back and visit them where they are gets stronger.
The good thing is that Miah and I could share with our friends that we were
doing well and that our church musical ministries had been strong and fruitful
for the last six years since we left Michigan. Good friends are for sharing
concerns and problems with a sincere heart, but sharing good news and happiness
with them is even better for sure.
Now, I thank God for our safe return to Iowa after enjoying all those times
with our old friends and for the experiences in witnessing the magnificent
nature God created around us. Going out to see different lifestyles and great
nature is a good opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and see the world
in new aspects, but coming back to remind us the importance of your home is
priceless. Now let me start living my own life here with my current church
family and friends in this place again.
