Come into an MK's Kitchen: A LITTLE SCROLL, A DIFFERENT STORY

A LITTLE SCROLL, A DIFFERENT STORY

Remember I mentioned how Aino gave me watersoluble pastels at last week's fellowship? Well, in an e-mail thanking her for coming, I decided to send her a picture, using those chalks, of that angel "clothed in clouds" of Rev. 10:1-2.

The angel, it mentioned, held a little scroll in its hand. Can you see it?

This one had a different story, I realize, than the online tale that came to me. It told of hapless orphans selling themselves, HOPING for a better situation. They'd fled cruel taskmasters until landing at a place of safety, finally finding a buyer who would respect, protect, and care for them. So they could now live happily ever after.

"We do not follow cunningly devised fables," (2 Pet. 1:16). The regenerate have been purchased too by an all-powerful, ever-loving Father Who gives us His Name; and we never have to run...ever.

About Me

Name: Life in Koriyama

Location: Tengan, Uruma-Shi, Okinawa-ken, Japan

I am an MK (missionary kid) and mother. I grew up in Okinawa to missionary parents, a Japanese Canadian and a Japanese American from Hawaii. My mother began missionary service in 1950, Dad in 1955. So I grew up speaking in Japanese in church but studying in English in a school started for missionary kids. My husband is Japanese (from Koriyama), and both of my children, born in Koriyama, speak only Japanese. We moved to Saitama after the earthquake of 2011. My parents have gone to Glory, and my daughter is now a mother--which makes me a grandmother! We (me, my husband, my son) moved down to Okinawa in September 2024.
