It is a beautiful sunny Saturday morning here in Nairobi, Ava and I are just finishing breakfast before heading to the hospital to see mommy. We want to thank everyone who has been praying for Erica's surgery and health. She is doing well, but we know that she has several weeks of recovery ahead. We all appreciate the many friends and family both near and far, who have been so encouraging and have shown us such kindness.
I'm sure some of you have read the work of Frederick Buechner, this thought below is a wonderful gift we received from a friend and we wanted to share it with you.
Becoming Human
Frederick Buechner
I don't think that it is always necessary to talk about the deepest and most private dimension of who we are, but I think we are called to talk to each other out of it, and just as importantly to listen to each other out of it, to live out of our depths as well as our shallows. We are all of us adolescents, painfully growing and groping our way toward something like true adulthood, and maybe the greatest value we have both to teach and to learn as we go is the capacity to be amazed...which is a power to heal us and bless us and in the end maybe even to transform us into truly humanbeings at last.
