Bible

Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Psalm 119:18

Baldwin

Every society is really governed by hidden laws. by unspoken but profound assumptions on the part of the people, and ours is no exception.

Thought

One of Baldwin’s strengths was seeing ills that others could not, but he also saw a host of joys and worked for others to see them. These joys surround us and are with us each day, but our closeness to them often makes us take them for granted. During Lent we are tempted to focus on the season’s many challenges. Nevertheless, there are joys it presents to us as we make our way to Easter. These things are blessings that are wish us in every season; therefore let us acknowledge and enjoy them with gratitude. As we see the ills, may we look and see the joys.
