Staggered and shattered, broken and
battered, lost and lonely in the incredible death and destruction. It could not
happen here nor could it happen to us, but evil came upon us.
Hands and hope, courage and comfort, effort and energy in the residue of utter despair and discouragement. It happened here and it happened to us, but good has restored us.
Hands and hope, courage and comfort, effort and energy in the residue of utter despair and discouragement. It happened here and it happened to us, but good has restored us.
Remember those that died and remember those
that gave beyond measure. Remember those that comforted and those that responded. Remember to
be like them. Be willing to sacrifice and even die for others, be willing to cry and comfort one another
and never, ever forget ... to pitch in with your heart and your hands to bring
hope and restoration to your world. It matters.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts
us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in
any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For
as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share
abundantly in comfort too.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 ESV).
