I love me some Henri Nouwen.  Who doesn't?  This morning I read out of his devotional "Bread for tte Journey" and he talks about how overwhelming it is to consider all the death and wars and injustices happening all around us.  How powerless and futile our own lives seem in comparison.  and then...
We are not called to save the world, solve all problems, and help all people.  But each of us has our own unique call...We have to keep asking God to help us see clearly what our call is and to give us the strenght to live out that call with trust.  Then we will discover that our faithfulness to a small task is the most healing response to the illnesses of our time.
Tru dat Henri.
So now what?
And did you know it is Lent AGAIN? I've barely posted since last Lent.  fyi: babies are draining.
Anyway, so call and Lent that has shown up again and an early morning with a cup of coffee and my cat and that is all i can think of.  Every year when Lent comes/ spring begins I realize that life still exists.  I don't know how I can continue to be surprised by the magic in these things.  but I also love me some magic.  Who doesn't?
oh, it is so on.
