Be contagious

As I read the news today, I had to shake my head at how cruel it is sometimes. Rapes, murders, drug abuse, poverty. All the signs and symptoms of humans "in control" or out of it as the case may be.

I'm reading a history book to DD, among other lighthearted choices, and she wants to know how come wars happen. I try to explain but somehow, my answers don't really do it. Yours probably don't either.

Instead, I have to fall back on the knowledge that through it all is the presence of a God who would love to reign over a peaceful, majestic world. And until he takes back the precious heirloom He let his children hold, this world will have and continue to show cracks, chips and down right disaster.

So one step at a time I think. Father may I want your will above all else. May I crave your ways over mine. May it be a contagious spirit.
