The people beside us.
I stole this quote off my brother and sister-in-laws community blog theashram.blogspot.com .
"We shouldn't seek the ideal community. It is a question of loving those whom God has set beside us today. They are signs of God. We might have chosen different people, perhaps people who were more caring , cheerful, intelligent and like-minded. But these are the ones God has given us, the ones he has chosen for us. It is with them that we are called to create unity and live in covenant."

Helllo from a fellow missionary. are you with MAF? we were serviced by MAf for many years in Venezuela.
Hi jungle mom. Yes, we are in MAF, in Papua New Guniea at the moment, Africa for the past 10 years.
Great to hear that MAF was able to help you out in Venezuela. I loved your blog about home schooling, very inspirational. I am schooling our 7 and 8 year old and find it tough going some times. I was encouraged by what you wrote. Thanks!
