On a recent trip to Honduras, while I was with a group in the Tegucigalpa airport I saw and greeted about a dozen people I have known through my years of work and visits to Honduras. One of the group members expressed her surprise that I could be in an airport in a major city outside the US and know so many people!
Yesterday when I got off the plane in Tegucigalpa, I was greeted almost immediately by Christian brothers from Siguatepeque–I had no idea they would be at the airport. “Greetings in the Lord. Blessings in the Lord.” Eventually I found the group I was expecting to connect with, but as we shared greetings in the Lord, I thought of the wonderful nature of God’s family.
[Epilogue: I was also interested in hearing the “airport music” playing in the background at the Tegucigalpa airport–instrumental versions of “God’s Family” and “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.” Perhaps I noticed it because it has been a long time since one heard instrumentals of Christian music playing as background elevator music in malls, stores, or airports in the US!]
