The national flower of Thailand. A beautiful and sweet creation of God, just like its people.
Setting off paper lanterns on New Year’s Eve. Felt like I was part of Tangled!
The temple was breathtaking in its physical beauty but you could feel an uneasy, dark undercurrent. It lurked in the dark corners, behind the statues in some of the rooms – shadows cast by evil spirits. The spirit of deception was heavy on the people here. They care so much about the outside of things, bedecking it in gold and jewels and carved wood. But what is it hiding?
Another form of exploitation in order to survive… Poor families dress up their young daughters/grand-daughters in traditional finery and send them to stand on the steps of the temple. There, the girls pose for photos with tourists and request money.
God’s glory revealed in the power of a majestic waterfall.
Isn’t she the most adorable 3-year-old you’ve ever seen?
Three months ago, she was supposed to be sold as a sex slave in a brothel.
Yeah… kinda stops you in your tracks, doesn’t it?
The bond of love and trust spoken with a single touch
God, You are so good to me… I’m in Thailand watching the sun set over the city and You are right here with me. It can’t get better than this!
