Same same

Phrases from other cultures land in our sentences and frequent our conversations. 

One of those? “Same same, but different.”

We are the same. But different. 

In our trek across oceans and sojourns in other lands, we see this. 

Face to face. While talking about family. Life. Hopes. Dreams. Pain. Struggle. 

Same same, but different.

“I love you”

Celebrate fathers taking their role seriously. Not perfect, but present.

Growing in understanding their children. Practicing faithfulness and courage. 

Celebrate fathers who seek the Lord for wisdom instead of giving up. 

Who say or demonstrate, “I love you.” 

Freely. Without condition. 

Dad and I on the ship–crossing the Pacific Ocean.

Taxi driver

Our taxi driver offers to give us a brief tour of the town where we’re staying. On an island in Chile.

Four of us pile in and go along the narrow village streets. First, climbing gravel roads to park at the top of a hill. 

An overlook. 

Breathtaking view of the ocean. 

In cold October winds.
