By Ruth Bell Graham On this Memorial Day, we reflect on all those who gave their lives serving their country with this touching poem from Sitting by My Laughing Fire …
This short, but powerful, poem from Ruth Bell Graham reminds us to keep our focus on Christ. And, that wherever God has placed us on this earth, it is for a purpose: to tell others about the hope that we have found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Some see God as a harsh father, waiting to punish His children when they do something wrong. Others perceive God as unable to handle the evil on earth, or indifferent to the suffering caused by it. God’s love is unchangeable; He knows exactly what we are and loves us anyway.
It’s so easy to give to a charity or a ministry and feel good about it. It’s not so easy to provide the personal charity. It’s easier to give to someone overseas than it is to take a casserole next door. May God give us the sensitivity to recognize the needs of those around us and lend a helping hand.
