When I start complaining about the cockroaches, rats, dust and grime and inconveniences of living without electricity and all those sorts of things, a news story comes along which reminds me just how incredibly blessed I am and how good I have it compared to most people in this part of the world.
I just read this one about Refugees from a certain beloved country of mine drowning as they were trying to escape the struggles that they face there. "Refugees drown in Sudan River" on CNN. Each one of those people who drowned left behind families who had great hopes for them... and families who will now suffer at the hands of the government because their sons, daughters, husbands, brothers, left to try to find a better situation.
Makes me sad. Please pray that people in this corner of the world will find true freedom and true peace.
