What a beautiful opportunity every morning at breakfast to look out the window and see the cherry tree change colors and see leaves falling. Yes, life is different for us compared to what it was in Phoenix. Yet, like the tree it is just God’s new season for us, and in everything there is beauty.
Life in Romania can appear simple and slow to some and to others cold, poor, and difficult. In making our home here we are adapting and finding the joy in the differences.
Cooking for Kristi is not as quick and easy as in the states. However, the food prepared from scratch is flavorful and fresh. It is also rewarding to create a meal from one’s garden and fruit trees. Everyday life consists of going to an open air market for produce and buying fresh bread. As you can see from the picture we picked and made our own grape juice. Making apple pies and hanging the clothes on the line remind us of a time when we were kids. Things might take longer, but there is an enjoyment and a savoring of a new season that is often lost in the hectic American life.
