Freewrite Day 536 Resurrect

I make people happy by being Christian in SE Asia. I had to get used to being asked my religion when I got here. In Thailand most people I met were Buddhist and knew few English words, but “Christian” was one of them. Asking your religion might be the first and only thing they can ask you there. It was shocking to me to see such big smiles of relief when they found out I am not another Godless heathen from the West.

My Godparents were Muslims. We went to their mosque and they came to our church when I was growing up. It wasn’t until I was in my 40’s that I had a start one day and wondered how that was approved and came about back in the 1960’s.

Everyone involved was dead or incapacitated by that time, so I will never know. All I knew was that if my parents had died, I would have gone to my Godparents and they would have made sure I was raised in the church.

Those two people were the ones that loved me the most after my parents. My brother and I spent a lot of time there, “just in case” something happened to our parents.

The Muslim relatives of my Godparents were my aunts and uncles and cousins as far as I knew, and they treated me like family. They were from the old country and many did not speak English, but that did not matter.

When Muslims find out you are Christian, they often say, “We have the same God of Abraham and you belong to the People of The Book.” This is what they sometimes call The Bible - The Book.

Back in the states, I did not talk about religion much and if people knew I went to church they felt bad for me or looked down on me. Now in Malaysia – a Muslim country – I attend the best church I have ever been to of the many in my surprisingly long life. It is very multi-cultural, charismatic, and loving. Maybe this is my own resurrection at such an interesting time in my life.
