We’d been in the Holy Land three full days. We’d met several people who lived there, and seen many others. Our guide on the Judean hills tour is of Eastern Europe descent on his father's father's side. His mother is Scottish. His wife is from Morocco and she has family from India.
Our guide who would be with us for the first part of the tour week is an Arab Christian. He welcomed us home as we are now pilgrims in the birthplace of our faith.
The Holy Land is a place of many faces from many nations.
I know we will see many more faces from diverse backgrounds and heritages, and each will remind me of God's promise to Abraham, "And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.” (Genesis 22:18)
