We infinitely wrong ourselves by laziness and confinement. All creatures in all nations, and tongues, and people praise God infinitely…You are never what you ought till you go out of yourself and walk among them.
Thomas Traherne, Centuries of Meditations
I recommend the book, Refugee by Alan Gratz. Mark had the option to read it and I was drawn to its subject matter. I read it in a few hours and loved it. I encouraged Mark to read it and talk about it with me. It follows the stories of three refugee kids, age 12, from three eras: Nazi Germany, 1990s Cuba, and 2015 Syria.
