The Good Muslim

A girl was going from her house to the town centre. It was dark. She stood waiting for the bus and the rain was poring down, making her soked all through her clothes. As the bus came, it just drove right past the girl, who was waving her hands to make it stop. The busdriver didn't even look at her, but just drove straight on to the next busstop. So the girl took to her feet and ran after the vehicle. She saw some people on the other busstop and shouted "Stop the bus!" but it just drove on.

As the girl reached the next stop, there was only a woman with a hidjab standing there. The Muslim looked at the girl and was moved with pity. She said to her that she had tried to stop the bus, but that the driver would not listen to her. They looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment. Then the Muslim said to the girl: "Are you going to town?" The girl nodded.
"I am waiting for my husband," said the Muslim. "He is going to take me to town. Do you want a ride?" The girl looked at her gratefully and accepted the kind gesture.

When the car pulled over, the two women sat down inside it. The two Muslims drove the girl safely to the street were she wanted to go.

"Which of these, do you think, was a neighbor to the girl who was lost in the rain? The busdriver or the Muslim who showed her mercy?"
Jesus would say: "Go and do likewise."

This happened to me yesterday and the whole situation reminded me of the Good Samaritan. It is so important to remember to love your neighbor as yourself!

Over to another thing --> Here are some pictures from my last weekend in Oslo.

Christina's 25th Birthdayparty.

Autumn is Falling

Eline and I bought two golden fish yesterday. Our new roommates are called Nono and Tot, named after my Madagascar-Eline and Torstein. They lighten up our appartment and are always there when we come home.

The past weekend we had a henparty for Sigrid. We took her on a plane to Oslo, and she had no clue where she was or where she was going. We had a wonderful weekend - women only!

Now I'm back in the 3rd grade I teach. They're really noisy but I think we have them in the palm of our hand soon. :) I like teaching them, but at the end of the day I'm really tired.
