On family vacation, the ferry
Leaves for Mackinac Island.
In a moment of inattention,
My young child falls overboard
And drowns.
That momentary slip in attention
Has a permanent, horrible consequence.
I watched a demonstration of prayer today.
A child had almost died in a household accident.
A week later, the mother was praying through the pain.
As I watched that mother, I wept.
Because who of us can adequately care
For our children?
For her, she saw that Jesus did the care and carrying.
I need to see that, too.
