Shakings of the Last Days.

Have you ever been frustrated by the kind of food put on the table, the kind of house you lived in, and the people that surrounded you? Have you ever thrown your temper about like a cyclone through a city, slammed doors so hard it felt like an earthquake?


When you woke up today and opened your eyes, was your back on a warm bed, your breast under a warm cover?

Was the sky blue, the woolly clouds thick like cotton candy?

Did you have breakfast this morning, and did you remember how it tasted? Did it feel good to be full?


What did you see when you read the papers today- did you recognise that feeling. Or did you, like me years ago, skip the front pages because what's on the front can hardly be good news.


And before you left the house today, to go shopping, meet up with friends, and carry on with your own life, did you hug mum and dad to tell them- I love you?

When you unclasped your hands in prayer, got up from your knees and opened your eyes today, what did you see?

Four walls, food, and a fond hug?

"... Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances...

- 1 Thesselonians 5:17-18a

Please pray for the rescue workers and people in China, hit by the massive earthquake, as well as for the children and people of Myanmar, hit by Cyclone Nargis and starving of food.

Find out about the nearest centre which you may donate food, money or medical supplies to, or help in the packing of supplies sent to these countries.

And afterward, tell the people you love that you really, really do.

God bless you.
