A friend who became father yesterday mused on his child's nursery and posted picture of children's rooms from all over the world.
I wonder how we are defined when some children in this world live in extraordinary poverty and others have more than they could ever want. More importantly, I wonder how we are defined if we justify that inequity or ignore it.
The birth of a child suddenly and completely redefines us. We know that beyond doubt.
God's love and mercy redefine us too…though for most of us it't a slower, more incremental process. Once we recognize we are re-defined, perhaps we are inspired to live in a way that might re-define the world. The children are depending on us...
