"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

A Taste of the States

Today, after church, I got a little taste of the United States.

A group of us went on base to have lunch at a family's house (of 7, with the 8th child on the way). We ended up staying all day playing games. I also got to eat REAL chocolate chip cookies.

I didn't realize how much I missed grass, until I saw some today and walked through it with my bare feet. It was weird knowing that I stepped on US soil, even though it is in Seoul.

They asked if there was anything any of us wanted. I had been thinking about spaghetti squash the other day and how I didn't see any squash here. So one of them who had to go to the store on base bought me one.

On my way home, a Korean woman who spoke English asked me what I had. She told me I needed to try Korean squash and took me into the store. I ended up buying one. Though, I think it is just zucchini, but she also shared how to cook it.

It was a moment I chose to seize and both she and I were blessed by it.
