Have you ever thought about going to another country? Maybe you have. If not, I highly recomend it. But not just for the sake of a great adventure, but for the sake of a greater view and understanding of the world that God created. The variety in peoples, landscapes and plants, architecture and art... they are phenomenal. This photo is St. Peter's Square, Vatican City. A fantastic place full of every kind of person from sisters in habit and priests in cassocks, to tourists from Asia, to Romans, traveling Europeans, and many more.
Traveling to a foreign country can give you a great opportunity to learn important values in life that may not be as magnified when you are in your home. One of the most important values that a traveling Christian can learn is the ability to trust God, no matter what! Trust God if you got on the wrong train, if you can't find your hostel, if it rains and you lost your raincoat... just to name a few possible instances. Seriously, these situations show us that we are not in control and that God is. If we allow ourselves to learn from them and know that God had something in mind the entire time, then we have a value well learned when we come back home.
Whether or not you can afford to go to another country, try to look at the world knowing that there is a lot more to the world than one person can know. May God bless you abundantly in humility and love for others!
