Faith

As I sit here reading emails from friends and loved ones, and deleting the spams, I come across one from a dear sister in Christ. She is fighting against cancer and, and I am overwhelmed by the Faith she is showing. her love for God and her home church.

Then my mind goes to the things that are happening within our church, the letter writing, the verbal attacks against the staff and the general tension that is showing its ugly head. I have got to ask this question, am I so misguided that I miss the true meaning of Christendom. What is the truth? Are we to spend our energy fighting amongst our selves so that we miss the unbelievable stories that are being played out right in front of our eyes.

This sister is an amazing person, to have such Faith for her God that she would see the positive through her personal struggles. Her story embarrasses me. To think that I would find so little to be thankful for when she finds so much.

There are many stories like hers that are being lived out everyday but I think that we get so caught up in what our interpretation of right is, that we as a society forget all about the way God is still here working in peoples lives.

I wish that I had Faith as this sister does. Skid
