Everyone knows about his girl in the picture. Her name is Kim Phuc Phanthi. This picture was taken of her on June 8th, 1072 in Vietnam.
She is all grown up now. She is "A Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO". She speaks and teaches on Forgiveness, Peace and Hope. Her fatih in God is what brought her to forgiving and working for Peace, and Hope for all people, all nathions. She gives so very moving speaches. She is humble, and down to earth with a great sense of humor.
My privilege:
- to have read her entire book in 2 days...
- to meet her in person and hear her in the santuaray with 900 other people
- to have her sign the book
- to get to cook for her and her husband Toan
- to get to visit with her in a relaxed personal setting over dinner
- oh, yes, she loves vegetables
- to get embraced by her.
- It had been such a wonderful and humbling experience.
- Her husband is also very impressive person and pastor.
Life is good and I am so very thankful to God!
