I just returned from 10 days on Maui. Hit the jackpot in weather and stayed in a resort on the beach in a room with an ocean view. Visited favorite cities and restaurants on the island and capped it off with a sunset cruise meeting new friends in the process.
However, news from the mainland brought us a dose of reality. Devastation wrought by the fires in California looked apocolyptic. Exhausted firefighters and first responders were doing their best but many homeowners were left homeless. Election results seemed to anger-or at least disappoint- those on both sides of the issues.
Where is God in all of this mess? Maybe it's time to look to Him for answers. Maybe His ways are better than our ways. We can start by turning over our hearts toward Him or at least begin to search for Him in the pages of the Bible. In the meantime, be kind to one another. Go out of your way to help others in their need. You may be the best Christmas present they will receive in 2018.
