The Bible at work in Hong Kong

Image
Amazing how the Bible pops up in unexpected places... such as in the Post Office! In Hong Kong's Central Post Office on the wall of the ground floor you'll find a wooden scroll with the following inscription from Proverbs:                            As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. As you queue for stamps, imagine the exiles or emmigres who have longed for a few lines of comfort. When you receive a letter from a friend or family member, you know that they have taken time out of their day to sit down, think of you, and put their love onto a page. Between the lines of news is the message Í am thinking of you, I miss you.' Their words are a balm to the recipient.The letter is saved, re-read, treasured.  God speaks to us constantly, through the deeds of others, through the environment, in those moments of calm, and sometimes, on the walls of a Post Office!
