The best part of the cyclone recovery

Dear The Reader

This week has had its ups and downs. My major down was just the constant feelings of inferiority; I am unable to fix the situations of the people. It's a fact I've had to deal with. No one but God can fix the situation.

But the best moment I had all week was when we visited a family who, since the cyclone, have found more freedom and joy than ever before. A part of the family was a young mum with a 2 month old boy. I asked if I could hold him, and after about 10 minutes he drifted off to sleep. In this moment I was at such peace.

I continued to speak to the mother. She and her partner were so grateful for their little one, and never stopped smiling, even when talking about the night of the cyclone. Easy birth and easy to care for. Perfect little boy.

Little things that some see as speed bumps others see as great joy. James 1:2-3 in the bible says all hardships and bumps in the road should be seen as good experiences because we grow stronger through them. I don't know exactly what these new parents will learn for the last year, but whatever it is they are learning with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts.

Please let these guys inspire you to see life the same way.

Educate. Entertain. Inspire.
