When the news hit about the earthquake and tsunami last Friday, my heart stopped...not literally, but everyone knows that feeling. Luckily or unluckily, I didn't have to sit and watch it on CNN as the tragedy unfolded. I was spared, by God's grace, from hearing it over and over again. Instead I was able to reflect and pray for the thousands affected by it and are still being affected by it.
I was also reminded of God's grace on Friday when I volunteered to work on Sunday. I could have said no, and maybe should have...but I didn't. I reflected on the Lord's words, and showed in a small way that I was willing to sacrifice that time to do what needed to be done. I know that there will be time, maybe soon, that I will again be called to sacrifice. Will I be willing then? I can't answer that now. I just have to go step by step and day by day. I do thank God for what he has done for me.
I hope, but can't press, that I will find listening ears and open hearts to the words the Lord has given me to write and say. I can't stand still...but maybe I need to....so I can listen to a baby's cry and a wounded heart.
