Famine in Ethiopia

Here is a news report on the famine in Ethiopia from USAToday.

Some would view this and say, "Aren't we blessed." I see this and think, "we ought to be ashamed that our neighbors are starving and we are overweight." Today, I say a prayer and ask God, "What can I do to help others? What can I do to share with others in need? Who can I speak to to make sure people are not going without the basic necessity of food?" I am reminded of Jesus saying, "When you did it to the least of these, you did it to me. When you did not do it to the least of these, you did not do it to me."

A Prayer to Guide Us Through This

Susan had lunch with a friend who shared this prayer with her:

Please infuse my being with your light--surround me with your love, that I may be lifted up and carried by your grace. Whisper into my thinking the inspiration that will help me through this. Help me be clear and calm. Embolden my heart with the courage to stay present and connected, for I know that in your presence lies my healing. I ask you to guide me-and everyone involved in this situation-every step of the way. Lift my spirit into a higher vibration that I may grow from this experience and become my greatest potential. Let there be a miracle. I am open and willing to have a miracle occur. Let the healer rise and take charge. I thank you in advance as I know that it is already so.
