Humbled.

This evening we went to visit a local Shan family here in Chiang Mai. The mom  "Sang" warmly welcomed us with homemade traditional Shan food and a variety of Coke products. We all sat around on the floor in their one roomed house, smaller than most average sized bedrooms. It was so 'koselig' as we sat around and talked. We heard of how She and her husband, Kom, crossed the Burmese boarder 15 years ago. They have one daughter, Chompoo, who is 7 years old and adorable!

It was such a humbling experience to be in their home, having them serve us food when they ate nothing. Giving their best to people they had just met, to strangers. They are the only Christians in their community, but I could see that they will be a light that will illuminate the darkness. 

We were able to read aloud from the bible and in the end pray over Sang and Kom. I felt my self tearing up, not from sadness or from joy, but for pure realization of how truly blessed I am, and how true joy really comes from our Savior, Jesus Christ.
