I just cannot believe the earthquake that hit Chile this morning/last night... I heard from our pastor this morning at music practice, and kept thinking "Nothing I do can be enough for the suffering, and the pain of those in other parts of the world." First the tragedy of Haiti, and when it finally seems as though the help that we (the USA and other countries) are sending is beginning to get through another tragedy happens.
I was reminded of the bible verse that talks about how we will hear of wars and rumors of wars, and that there will be earthquakes and we will know that the end is nearing, and was filled with a new sense of urgency. Peter and I are called to San Francisco to minister to the lost in that beautiful city, but I am so heartbroken over the fact that I am just one. My hands are small and I am a fragile human. I can only be in one place, and it seems that no amount of money or time could ever fix the REAL tragedy. Lives lost that will never know Jesus. Lives that will never know the peace of the Christ Child, or the mercy and forgiveness of the Sovereign Father. I am grieving the loss of these people that will never be grafted into my family tree. I know that the greatest thing anybody could do is pray. Our Lord is mighty to save, and He is capable of moving mountains... He is far greater than this small soul could ever imagine or understand. So I will pray, and I am asking you to pray also. Let us raise our voices to the heavens.

Praying. Mother Teresa has a quote that I really like,
ReplyDelete”If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.”
and remember Bethzatha? Jesus heal the man by the pool...God would stir up the water and the first one in he would heal. he with them. of course that doesnt mean we do not obey his commands and prayer and do what he says!
lets talk soon!!
