gifts.from.jerusalem

look what you got here... souvenir gift from israel. a mustard seed, a candy, a postcard and a wooden cross.

these little gifts do bring back a lot of memory, it's 1997 summer that you traveled to israel for the first time via jordan. prior to the journey you have to apply for a special pilgrimage visa and at the immigration, you have to ensure your passport is not stamped.

the journey was a wonderful one that gave you a lasting impression, you  re-live of the bible passage that you know yet it's so different when you're there to experienced it. an up close and personal bible reinterpretation and had a real feeling about the weather, the desert and the environment. you finally understood the psalmist expressions in the book of psalm and how precious water were/are to country like this.

you been to bethlehem, galilee sea, nazareth, jerusalem, the mount of beatitude,  the garden of gethsemane and many other places, at the end, it really didn't matter where you have visited as long as Jesus is living in your heart, it is faith and personal relationship with God that matters most.
