Beautiful day

It's a beautiful day here in Sydney. Was at the lovely Coogee Beach with my friend Gen. Sun shining on the water turning it to deep aqua. Whiter than white surf spraying in the wind as the waves roll unto the near white sand- very idyllic. We had lunch in a cafe- sitting outside, chatting, watching the world go by.
Hours before, we had been at Hillsong women, catching a glimpse at a very different world, the world of the child soldiers of northern Uganda. The documentry called 'Invisible Children' told of the harrowing civil war and it's devastating impact on the people who live there in particular the children. Every woman there, weeping as we were faced with a world far removed from our own, and left wondering what part we can play to help the situation, praying that the situation would end and that the people there would come to know true freedom. Now that would be a truly beautiful day!
