A letter of Shallom
(Goodbye) to the
companions and guides
Our journey of faith is
now
drawing to an end. In my life God has given me many experiences that
I never expected or even dared to dream of having. But also he loves
taking me out of my comfort zone, often wanting me to do things that
I find hard. But I have learnt that whenever I feel things too hard
for me to do alone, all I have to do is think "I need you now
lord" and he never fails to come to my rescue, always making my
burdens light.
For me
the highlight of this
journey has been the love and companionship that we have shared
together as we have walked in the steps of our God and listened to
the word of his beloved son with whom the father is well pleased.
I have always been an
admirer
of the beauty of Gods creations, and in each one of you, I see the
work of a truly awesome craftsman who has made each of you uniquely
with great care skill and love. I am also inspired by the
sharing of our journey with our guide and driver as representatives
of the other two faiths with whom we share the one God who holds the
universe in existence by his will alone. At the holocaust museum I was
inspired to write. 'When one day you find yourself in a place where
all people of all faiths and race live in love and peace then be
assured you are in paradise. ..you are with God! And so friends we have
shared
a little of that in our journey with Harrison and Saleh. It brings to
mind a poem I once wrote. "In my heart I can see, a world where
Jesus dream comes to be, a world where people live in love and peace
and harmony. Oh what a joy it is for me to live in a universe whose
creator. ...loves. ....ME!"
Friends, until we meet again.
Shallom!
