Airport Musings
Saturday, March 16, 2019
Buffalo Airport prep... we put white duct tape on 24 pieces of luggage for the baggage check, and orange yarn on all our belongings. Each helped by taking a carry-on of fragile medical equipment. We’re praying all will arrive in good stead.
Oh, the thrill of being in the air again... witnessed spectacular colors as they edged over the eastern horizon!
From JFK to Dubai Airport, we’re on a double decker plane, ten people per row, two aisles separating. We’re enjoying the camaraderie of our group, and people-watching. I was struck again by the vast cultural differences. Everything is in English and in Arabic, that beautiful language that looks like art. Between all crew members, they speak a total of 18 languages!
On The Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum’s biggest critic called the circus “a celebration of humanity.”
That’s a good description of international travel: all of the colors and sounds of mankind blend together in a grand celebration of humanity. We get to see God’s handiwork represented in all of its glory!
Lord, may we honor You, in honoring Your beautiful humankind, with love, dignity and ourselves.
