After the conversation, he then rode his bicycle back home with his wife on another bicyle. I then had a few minutes talking to Gert Schipper who was on his wheelchair and his sister Tera Schipper who had returned from Jordan.

The art of being content in one's setting and creating a beautiful environment for the people around. To keep the home, city and surroundings clean. To love God with all your heart and be a good example following Jesus Christ.
Zeist has awed me with the kindness and love of people. It is not that I only expect from them and not give back because it is only when you reciprocate that you feel the warmth of the love.
It is also that you cannot be unkind to some people and love the other group. It doesn't work that way even though it might look fine at that moment. Some how the animosity given a chance would flare up over-ruling the love and kindness. You cannot love God whom you have not seen and hate your brother whom you see, said Jesus (1 John 4:20).
It is the contentment and finding joy consistently day in and day out. Moving to a different city with lots of opportunities doesn't assure the beauty of love. It is often that the greed for money and success gets disguised as love and fades over times.
There is also a need to fight greed, lust, hatred, cultural pressures and work hard to preserve it.
The desire for greatness and to be "someone" robs ones beauty and joy.
May God stir up the love and kindness once again.
