The morning of my birthday finds me in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on a hotel balcony overlooking a market street. The sun is up, but our little balcony is shaded by the surrounding buildings. Which is great because it's already 79 degrees Fahrenheit (87% humidity) with a forecast of 92 degrees and 90% humidity by noon.
The street is waking up with vendors at Phsar Kandal Market, early morning shoppers, tourists and residents of the apartments across the street. The murmur of daily life surrounds me, and I realize that each person starting their day has a story. Each one is a life that Jesus died for. My heart is overwhelmed. My human understanding cannot comprehend the depth of His love.
That I am here, doing what I love, amazes me. Gratitude overwhelms my heart for this - the best birthday gift ever.
The journey continues ~ Pat
