Alright, so today was a wonderful day of the Lord. I worked in the Oentoro Library while I was reading a book of Messages about the Intercultural communication by Joseph A. Devito. I simply get interested with this chapter that discussing about the communication occurs between two or more persons from different groups, beliefs or lifestyle.
And when I am reflecting to what that affects on me I just can smile and amazed to what I am here now. Thanks Lord for Thy providence that I am being in this moment, in this place and in this context right now.
I live with a very intercultural and interracial community here. A couple of my friends are Korean, Indonesian Chinese, Indonesian Local ethnics (if I am not wrong at least 27 major ethnicity represented in my faculty), many languages and lifestyle, and oh dear I just realize and being mindful by this time actually. O Lord have mercy for my insensitivity.
Some of my lecturers are from USA, some Aussie, German, Canada, and the Philippines. And now, I am being an assistant in teaching grade 3 students who are Singaporean, Indian, Aussie, Vietnamese, Chinese and American!
I have never thought to be in this moment which is so intercultural what is more when I remember my childhood life in a remote Area of Lampung in the Southern part of Sumatra Island, Indonesia!
It's great, Lord grant me Thy unworthy servant to bring and share the light whenever Thou send me, so that they may also know the salvation from Thou. Amen!
In a wonderful day of Great Lent 2009
