LETTERS

with contributions from BETSY BRIGHTMAN, EVELYN HORN, JIM RAYNESFORD, SANDRA SMITH

I have meant to write you for a while to tell you how meaningful the poem "A coat of many pockets" by Pamela Chemberlin Lampson in the June 7 Sentinel ["Divine supply and demand"] was to me. It absolutely opened my eyes to the fact that the glory of creation was meant for me personally (just as it is meant for everyone else as well). It brought home to me that all of this beauty in the universe, our friendships with others, etc., is an individual gift from God, given directly to each one of us. Where I used to look at the stars as an observer, I now look up at them and think, "Oh! They are meant for me because I already include them from God!"

Thank you so much for the August 16 issue, "Become as a little child." All the articles were helpful, but one in particular resonated with me: "Taylor and Conttonball" by Carol McFall. I had been struggling to find some peace about a friend's physical challenges, and had prayed but felt no peace. I finally got up in the middle of the night, and saw this Sentinel opened to the above article. It was so well written. The photo of Taylor and her hen was adorable. I picked up the article and began reading. By the end of it, I felt renewed, refreshed, and had regained my childlike trust in God to heal all problems. Taylor's faith in God's goodness reminded me that I could trust God to take care of my friend just as Taylor had with her hen.
