Mister Rogers’ mother told him: "Whenever you see something bad is happening watch for the helpers."
On March 30, 2002, a firefighter searching for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, discovered a burnt Bible fused to a piece of steel. The barely legible top page is open to the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5, where Jesus speaks of “an eye for an eye” followed by “resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other."
In your life make this your goal: focus on the donut and not the hole.
God doesn't walk away. We often do in our helplessness and hopelessness not realizing famine will pass - feasting will follow.
Hope is embedded in our laments.
- Rev. Susan Landry
