A Cup of Cool Water, by Phil Ware
California Wildfires from Space. NASA Photo.
The devastation of the California fires has brought unspeakable horror
to thousands of people. Many of those have insurance and will have the
ability to make some recovery of basic goods -- of course pictures,
keepsakes, pets, heirlooms, and other sorts of irreplaceable items can
never be replaced and the loss of life can never be compensated. In
addition, many who live in apartments, single parents without insurance
and much margin in life, older adults who have no place to go, and many
others, will lose everything without any resources to begin again. In
other words, many have no safety net in this hour of crisis.
Many have no safety net in this hour of crisis.
Some of the early relief has simply been to get water into the hands of
displaced people. This reminds me of Jesus' statement, "And if anyone
gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is known
to be my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly be
rewarded" (Matthew 10:42 TNIV).
