It rarely snows in the cities but it does in the mountains! So everyone goes up to the mountains to play when it does! ⠀ ⠀ #snow #liveabroad #iraq #snowhike https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYgtZZAfGQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1withb1s0oy8z

Peace is a Christmas theme we enjoy because we like the warm and fuzzy cocoa by the fire feelings. But those in the early church didn't have cocoa or tinsel and the world was hard then as it is now for many. Remember and pray for those who live in places where any peace is hard to come by. ⠀ ⠀ #bepeace #speakpeace #merryChristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLnLyihcIe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jc7ugimxe2kt

How are your workouts lately? Do they disappear with the colder weather and holiday parties? We're excited about the possibility of some exercise classes next year. What kind of exercise do you like best? ⠀ ⠀ #holidays #exercise #question https://www.instagram.com/p/BrD2tzjAOXr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p36vjwhbke42

No matter the weather, the bead men sit out near the mosque with their hand strung beads. Whether they are made with seeds, glass, or plastic, they each hold a unique beauty. While the origins may be that they are prayer beads, many people I spoke to said they were just a way to occupy the hands. The first fidget spinner, if you will!⠀ ⠀ #beads #prayerbeads #fidgetspinner #seller #street https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-tDWmAzQk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3k35c5iq8790

A lot of us went "home" for Thanksgiving. Some visit other people's homes. Thanksgiving is a holiday that is deeply tied to the idea of home. For refugees on the island of Lesvos, this place is a home. A home-cooked meal, some peace and comfort, the warmth of friends. ⠀ ⠀ Check them out! https://www.homeforaday.gr/about-us/⠀ ⠀ #home #greece #refugeecrisis https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiPa9Xg_t1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9tokc2k4jidh

"Thousands of middle-eastern refugees are STILL fleeing their homes under threat of death. Many of them arrive on these shores of Greece (the doorway to Europe).⠀ ⠀ "When the Syrian refugee crisis was getting all of the headlines I was blessed with the opportunity (twice) to visit Greece and meet Syrian/Afghan/Iraqi/Palestinian refugees. Their stories changed my life. Most have lost family members to the wars or travel. They have endured unimaginable terrors. ⠀ "Please lift up in prayer refugees around the world today!🙏"⠀ ⠀ #sgigreecetrip #greece #refugeecrisis ⠀ ⠀ www.ServantGroup.org/Greece https://www.instagram.com/p/BqdQOZ3AWjB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lwghfiuby4s

The heavens declare the glory of God;⠀ the skies proclaim the work of his hands.⠀ Day after day they pour forth speech;⠀ night after night they reveal knowledge.⠀ They have no speech, they use no words;⠀ no sound is heard from them.⠀ Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,⠀ their words to the ends of the world.⠀ In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.⠀ It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,⠀ like a champion rejoicing to run his course.⠀ It rises at one end of the heavens⠀ and makes its circuit to the other;⠀ nothing is deprived of its warmth.⠀ ~Psalm 19:1-6⠀ ⠀ #psalm19 #theheavensdeclare #iraq #liveabroad #servantgroupinternational https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVgjrWAz7x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ora9ers6ikc0

Latest podcast is out! And the topic is ELECTRICITY!
