On Air France on the way to a connecting flight in
Paris, the French-speaking crew kept using the word "Merci."
In the
Paris airport the word kept popping up again. I became sensitive to it.
"Merci" sounds virtually identical to the English word "Mercy" just a slight
difference in enunciation.
Perhaps their tonal similarity is spiritually
connected.
When we are thankful, mercy follows.
When things go bad
in our world, I often find that the thankfulness is also gone. We focus
far more on the things that go wrong than on the things going
right.
When that happens, we've usually forgotten about all of
the things that have gone right.
Merci is a word we no longer speak;
therefore, mercy is a thing we no longer see.
