Psalm 37,7 Hoffe auf den HERRN und tu Gutes, bleibe im Lande und nähre dich redlich.
Der zweite Teil dieses Verses hat mir schon oft zu denken gegeben - was ist dann mit Auswandern? Sollte man das ueberhaupt, wenn man kein Missionar ist?
Da dachte ich heute, ich bin ja im Lande, und bleibe erstmal. Im Land bleiben, das heisst fuer mich: lokal Verantwortung uebernehmen, nicht umherziehen und weitergehen wenn es ernst wird.
Der Traum vom Auswandern hat aufgehoert wenn man angekommen ist, und einen die Dinge und Menschen etwas angehen, ich meine wirklich herausfordern, in die Verantwortung ziehen. Wenn man anfaengt aus der Naehe zu lieben. Wir sind angekommen.
This is the yet unfinished story of a German - Spanish couple with five children who left their home in Germany to widen their horizon at the other end of the world - New Zealand. They moved from Mainhardt (Lkr Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg) to spend 2+ years in Thames (Coromandel, Waikato, North Island) in September 2010.
