Pray for the People of Afghanistan - Journal of an American follower of Christ living among the Afghans... A Sobering Question “What is your name? How long are you living in Kabul? Do you like my country? Can you speak our language?” He was trying all of his model sentences on me. Pretty good English. Then came the punch line: “And what do you want to be when you grow up?” He got me there. I think I said, “I want to be just like you.” He smiled and rode off. I really laughed, then spent the next several blocks in sober thought. What do I want to be when I grow up? Better than I am now, that’s what -- more loving, kinder, a better servant; a better listener, a better witness; totally honest, a better husband, full of integrity, healthier in body, mind and spirit. I also want another chance to meet that boy to tell him that I’m on a journey with a Friend who loves me and is helping me to grow up to be a special person -- and that my Friend can be his friend, too. In the meantime, I’ve got some growing up to work on. |
