ReplyDeleteAmen! I really like the I Timothy scripture. My family is extremely important to me because we are so close. There is nothing I wouldn't do for them and them like wise for me. I believe that is what eases the hardships that migrants have, in the way that they may be leaving their country so that family members left behind can have a better tomorrow. Their family that is depending on them is most likely what gives them strength to endure the obstacles they have to overcome in order to adapt and fit into their new environment.
ReplyDeleteI like Ruth. I think that it speaks for those who move to new countries with their families.
ReplyDeleteTitus scripture reminds me of the way immigrants must think. they must come here and do work to get a good life that they have earned
