A Friendly Hallway!

The last week has been fun with the friendliness in our hallway! I've been enjoying it!

Noah absolutely loves the neighbors! He wants them to come to his birthday =) Tonight at supper he was singing "I love you Islanders. I care about you." =) So precious!

Last Saturday, we were cooking some brunch and randomly asked some of the neighbors across the hall to join us. That was a hit and suddenly there were a whole bunch of people in our apartment! The neighbors across the hallway are part of Island Breeze and most come from an island in the Pacific. They are a big family, always eating together and hanging out and there are usually a lot of people next door. They are so friendly and welcoming!

The neat thing about our son growing up in this environment is that he has experience with so many different cultures! I like that! There are some funny conversations we have about whose skin is what color (Noah likes to say his is black), the places people come from and other things. Not every Caucasian Canadian 2 year old knows what the haka is =) It is just some of the benefits of living amongst so many different cultures in YWAM!

It is awesome to get just a small taste of the diversity of the cultures and people groups the Lord has created in His image. All the many peoples and groups reflect His image and who He is. We don't see the fullness of Him and His incredible creation without looking at the amazing diversity and creativity He shows in creating humans! The word of His hands is incredible!
