I live near a busy border. The din of thousands of migrants coming across the border has been constant these last few weeks. It happens every year at this time, but this year we have had a long, warm fall season, so I\u2019ve been outside a lot, hearing them and seeing one group after another. I\u2019ve been wondering what on earth they say to each other, but imagine them saying, \u201cLook! A place we can rest!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m referring, of course, to Canadian feathered friends who are heading south for the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if I come into the house to warm up a bit, I see another group of migrants on the TV. One million Gazans heading south hoping to cross a border and find rest. Millions of others are like them, fleeing other conflicts or migrating due to one pressure or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am pretty sure that when the geese fly over my house in years to come, I\u2019ll think of these migrants, too, and wonder: What are they saying? Where are they now? Did they get to go home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might be a strategic time to read the recent Lausanne Occasional Paper, People on the Move<\/a>. If you don\u2019t have time to read it all I suggest this part: World on the move: We are all migrants.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to Canada geese, I\u2019ve heard it is especially tiring to be in front, so they take turns leading the flock. I am praying for a new leader in Gaza. I have a name in mind but I won\u2019t mention it. He was a visiting professor I met years ago. I sensed he was a real man of peace and I\u2019ve prayed for him ever since to be a gospel light in his part of the world. Please join me in praying for him as you pray for this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the gospel and the homeless people of the world,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Greetings, I live near a busy border.
