Paradox - two seemingly contradictory facts that express a truth. Life in missions is full of paradoxes. In every day life I am sure we experience this paradox and just don't realize it as much! Now that I am packing up to leave the United States for Madagascar it is a little more pronounced.
To explain this to the children that were in corresponding classes they brought out two rubber duckies. One that had black marker scribbled all over the body (YUCK duck) and another one that was as cute as could be (Yay duck)...
It is helpful to find both "ducks"
-I love to clean and pack (you find things you were missing) YAY!
-I don't like the process of living amongst all the packed boxes YUCK!
-I have been enjoying visiting with all types of people from all walks of life. YAY!
-I have missed quality time with my weekly bible study group. YUCK!
Do you have any that you would like to share?
