Last night, well actually in the wee hours of the morning, I had the privilege of welcoming 16 new arrivals to America. A couple notes from this experience:
1. They only had 8 bags of luggage. That's half a bag per person. Most Americans would take twice that much for a weekend trip to Myrtle Beach and this was everything they owned in this world! Do I really need all this stuff?
2. Travel is exhausting and stressful for everyone. 30 hours of flying with children is insane. Yet, these were some of the sweetest, most humble, patient people I'd ever met. Perspective is everything!,
3. Finally, and I think about this nearly every day, the world is coming here.The nations are our neighbors!
