I've had a very unsettled few days as I've watched a change in administration in our country, and have seen decisions being made that affect friends. I have also felt soul-sick as I see posts on social media where people are either elated or devastated. In both cases, the ones posting are ignoring how their words are affecting others. There seems to be posts either ignoring hurt people or hurling insults at the other side. And to be honest, it makes me really angry. For someone like me, who hates any sort of confrontation - passive or aggressive - it stirs up a whole lot of anxiety and I can begin to give way to discouragement. My spiritual gift of mercy is also agitated as I know how these decisions will affect lives of people already in turmoil. Some of us in our church work with refugees in our city. These sweeping decisions could potentially affect not only the people in these ministries, but also the jobs of people working with them. So it's understandable many of us...
Have a great and restful time Terri!! Take care!~Wendy
