It’s hard to believe that it was just hours ago…  Just hours ago I had 7 people in my house! Missionaries from another part of the country, they came to town to sort out residency. They are working in Maasai land building a Bible training school.

It was so nice to have all of them in my house! I gave them free reign to the kitchen, and just told them to make themselves at home… It was so different from the last month of living by myself. It’s so nice to have other people in the house, especially ones from my home country, and it’s encouraging to share experiences and simply to enjoy the fellowship. Hearing how God is working in other parts of the country is always encouraging, and sharing burdens is always a blessing. Perhaps this is why God often puts similar people and families together in His work.

But it’s not always this way. I know from experience. Fellowship with likeminded people from my culture is something I don’t take for granted. It’s something I try to enjoy every second of. Because I know later I will wish I had enjoyed it more. When trials come, it’s friendships like these that help to strengthen one’s steps and fortify their position. It’s experiences like these that I can’t take for granted. They are treasures not to be dispensed with.

But there’s another Friend, who also can’t be dispensed with. He is all present, He is with us everywhere we go, He is a friend that we can always talk to no matter where we go or what we do… Do you know Him?
