母親節 This Mother’s Day
It was quite a journey.
Last week I had a struggle because there have been chaos created by right extremities to people who are on the street to protest against Israel. I asked opinion from my friend, who replied me, saying that siding on any side is not peace. I was quite confused about that. But there was little. I had anxiety in me that if I should join this Gaza walk.
So I spent the whole day Saturday to see some videos about the issues. Especially Rev from Palestine Bethlehem seminary, who had first-hand sharing about how Palestine situation is. Rev Jack Sara, Pray for peace
During the evening, looking at the news, how vulnerable the mothers and the young children are facing now.
Then I read about this Gaza ceasefire Pilgrimage in more details. It is a peaceful prayer and sometimes singing walk. It is multi faith.
So I planned to join the walk after lunch.
I told daughter to postpone the celebration with me to next weekend.
On Sunday morning I woke up at 5 AM by accident! And so I just started the morning routine and left home around 8 AM hoping to join the pilgrimage at Chestnut Subway station the starting point at 9:10am
Meeting the crowd there, praying singing and feeling our hearts connected.
I’m still learning to lament… repent..
When I am writing to this point, the reminder from Cynthia Bougeault emerges again: we are called to Hope.
