My Life With Ray
As I descended the stairs in our organization's guesthouse in Bangkok, I noticed a young man busily moving suitcases. As I glanced at him, he stopped, straightened himself, and looked at me. I did not know him, and I passed him without introducing myself. We were not to remain strangers, however. Coworkers introduced us to one another: “Ray Walters, meet Aartje van den Brandhof.” At that time, I had no idea that my life would be closely interwoven with his. At first, I was not interested in developing a relationship with any man. Neither was I impressed in any way with Ray. We were both members of the same organization, working in the same vicinity. Our paths crossed on several occasions, and finally I noticed that Ray began to pay attention to me. I began to develop an interest in him, too. Who was this young man? Where did he come from? What motivated him? Why did he give up a well paying job in America to live in Thailand, dependent on family and friends to meet his daily needs?
Ray's Rich Life
The Bible, one of the world’s most-read books, says: “You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” (Revelation 3:17) Ray had recognized that having everything the world offers does not guarantee happiness. He had found the source of true riches. I would like to share with you the treasures Ray discovered and how you can find them, too.
