Dear Friends,
We begin a new week that is bound to be full of challenges, chores to complete, and work to be done. Everywhere we turn, we will be reminded of unmet needs and incompleteness. In my readings this morning, I came across a wonderfully reassuring paragraph which I will share with you. Please remember that God is on your side. We are not in this life alone.
"Edith Schaeffer of L'Abri Fellowship captures some of the tension with which many of us live when she writes that 'because there are more people than we have time or strength to see personally and care for, it is imperative to remember that it is not sinful to be finite and limited.' When hospitality is not practiced widely in the larger society, or when resources are not distributed fairly or adequately, personal hospitality cannot respond to every need. It can, however, meet some needs; it can be a living demonstration of what is possible when people care."
Christine D. Pohl, Called to Community
Let us do the best we can, and then humbly and gratefully leave the rest to God. Blessings on your week.
