Last Friday a Yazidi friend of mine bought me lunch. We had a great time talking eating and good food.

I love hummus especially when it is freshly made in a restaurant. We also had kebab.

The kebab was awesome. I miss being able to eat the naan due to Celiacs. but kebab with salad is wonderful.

As we ate and talked, I wondered again about something that I have wondered about many times. My Yazidi friends are so friendly and generous. It is hard for me to understand people trying to kill them simply because they have a different religion.

I shared with my friend that as a Christian I like to share about the love of Jesus and if anyone does not agree with me they are still my friend. I shared that Jesus taught God is Love and that threatening people about differences in beliefs is not love.

Just a glimpse into my life with my refugee and immigrant friends on a rare double post day.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
