Theme from Thoughts

• Our daughters reported that the Christian camp at which they work has experienced some racism among the parents of some campers
• Our oldest daughter's volunteer trip to Tijuana, Mexico, garnered some response from the Mexican consulate this week.
• One of the songs on my Kindle reminded me of the section from Philippians (I think) that talks about Your having "left Your mighty throne in glory" to come to earth for us.

The common theme?  I won't have time to fully explore it tonight, but I see the idea of a parent--the Heavenly Father, the campers' parents, and me--sending or allowing their beloved child to go into a place of possible danger.  In at least two of the examples, the purpose for the journey into potential peril is the rescue of beloved people.  Lord, I embrace this theme for the sake of the Gospel and of the advancement of Your kingdom.  When I become anxious about Amy's time in Tijuana, remind me of this.  Bless her, bless her efforts to pull all this together, and bless her ministry there.  She's doing this for You!  And so am I.  :)  Thank You for this insight.  It helps.
