1. A friend from Zambia wrote me concerned for me and the currents economics. I am humbled by the compassion of my friend who is surrounded by loss. I found myself thinking about how much we have and am embarrassed to share our suffering since it seems like so little in comparison. I have learned so much from my trips over to Africa and what a person needs and doesn't need.
2. A friend asked me to pray for her family because her cousin was murdered in Juarez. Again, humbled because so much suffering goes on all around us. The numbers of deaths in Juarez is staggering. My heart hurts for my friends. Not numbers or statistics but somebody's family member.
So much to ponder today. So much to thank God for in my life. So much love to recieve and give before my days are over. Be blessed because we truly are.
