Love in our hearts, hope in their minds...

Love in our hearts, hope in their minds... This is the title of a book I read recently. I love that sentence. It really explains the difference of point of view between the donors and the receivers. As Christians we do help the poorest, here in Cambodia, because of our love for God, for our neighbor, and for ourselves. But in their minds, far before their hearts, it is hope that they receive, hope for a better life, a better future... It is so important to know that we are different, that we think and feel differently. It’s even the best way to really meet the other, to accept that we are different. I love difference, uniformity is so boring.
