"Seeking our Savior"

Heyo,

Tonight I watched the Book Thief with my family. I have read the book and they have not.

Kinda made everybody red-eyed and thoughtful.

I considered it a success. Thoughts are good, even if the story wasn't. Although I probably won't be allowed to pick out a movie again for awhile.

So before I have talked about innocence and my desire to be inoculated against it, like a shot. Somewhere thinking that if I am exposed to horrible things, I will be okay. That sheltering is not my friend.

But I think I was wrong. I think it was my friend. Or it tried to be.

I have chosen to be a nurse which means I learn about terrible things. and sometimes super boring ones. There is disease and there is death. I have to think about it and process it over and over again. Learn how to deal.

Someone wise told me this evening that I will be fine as long as I am seeking my Savior. That something I have to do, because he too saw the hard things and then helped others, healing. He had compassion on them, on us. If I can do a portion of that for others? Well, I am blessed with opportunities to simply try.
