Description

Many people like to travel. They enjoy travelling to other cultures, getting to know other people and their countries, customs and languages, and enjoying the differences from their own everyday environment. In particular, other foods and their preparation and menus that we are not familiar with. These are all positive aspects. But then there is the term 'foreign'. Something or someone is foreign to me. And this often means I don't understand him or her, or no longer understand him or her. It is not uncommon for the foreign to be associated with fear. Fear of something unforeseeable, unpredictable and therefore uncontrollable. Sometimes something in life breaks unexpectedly and you are confused, dismayed, feel powerless and helpless. In times of need, some people turn to God, whom they may not have taken seriously before and who is therefore a stranger to them. But as with other cultures, so with God: over time the unfamiliar becomes familiar.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
