Loved my travel – to CANADA!!!! The most amazing difference IS: everyone in Canada is SO FRIENDLY – takes a while to get used to! 

The traffic although thick was courteous and nothing like my rush hour back home here – whew – I never saw anyone cut anyone off in traffic there! The people AND the traffic so considerate – and that matches the scriptures of compassion – Colossians 3:12 – “Therefore as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”

And the spiritual connections I saw, biggest one I felt, was that I was just in the right space for the right conversations and had a good time too – enjoying just travelling and sight seeing and especially meeting people. So True! the people so kind were also so diverse – I stood in line with a couple and their sweet spunky little daughter and we chatted how the people are so nice and not to believe the media hype about the static between the countries – just get out there and travel…

The quote from Mark Twain so appropriate here – about travel – “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”  Mark Twain wrote: “It liberates the vandal to travel — you never saw a bigoted, opinionated, stubborn, narrow-minded, self-conceited, almighty mean man in your life but he had stuck in one place since he was born and thought God made the world and dyspepsia and bile for his especial comfort and satisfaction.”

It is good to travel!! to LOVE – to meet up with God’s People…. “Therefore as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” They are patient with us and we can be with all….

Amen
