Be A World Traveler

Dear Daughters,

God created the world and every single unique person in it. So any chance you get, travel and experience other cultures. Celebrate diversity. Appreciate the differences found down the street and across the globe. Worship with the Church in other cultures and countries. Look at creation and be in awe of the Creator. There is an abundance of beauty around the world and so very much to learn.

And if you aren't able to physically travel far for whatever reason, get to know the people in your city. The Lord is so graciously bringing the nations to us. Dedicate time to building relationships and engaging in life with your neighbors. Read to expand your mind on what the rest of the world is like. Learn about other cultures and from other cultures. Listen to how life is experienced by those who are different than you.

The more you get out of your own life experiences and see how others live, the more grateful and compassionate and joyful and content you will be. Be willing to embrace differences and be uncomfortable; it is a great gift to be stretched outside of yourself in order to love well and learn much. You will grow in maturity, in faith, and in wisdom as you travel the world.

A Lover Of Traveling,
Mama
