It's been many years since I've lived in an apartment until now. The lives going on around me are no longer seperated by a fence and a yard but mere walls and windows. The giggle of a baby, a quarreling couple, a melodious tune, a little one crying himself to sleep, a weeping woman......all reminders of the individuals and families above, next to, and nearby. I bring them before Him not knowing their names or faces but that He will love, comfort and heal the broken-hearted.
And then.....there are the sounds of the morning. Several days ago at 7:30 a.m. I found myself ready to run, duck and look for cover as fireworks were set off just feet from our windows. Thus I learned the tradition that when someone moves into a new home (or any other life event) the fireworks are meant to scare off the evil spirits. ~ From Wendy
