昨日は孫のS之介のお誕生日でした。ロサンゼルスは土砂降りの大雨と大風でしたが、バースデーランチに行ったレストランも映画館も大混雑でした。
震災以来、日本の事ばかりを考えているせいか、街中が平和で幸せそうに見えました。なんでもないような日常が、どんなに愛しく、幸いな事なのかを、しみじみと思うこの頃です。
その背後に神様のお守りがある事を思って、礼拝で神様に感謝の祈りを捧げ、また、震災にあった皆様と日本が、平穏な日常生活に出来るだけ早く戻る事が出来る事をお祈りしました。

Benefit for Japan – Night of Worship
日時：３月２４日（木）午後７時

Join us for a night of worship and prayer as Shepherd of the Hills Church presents a benefit night to support recovery efforts in Japan. This night will be filled with thought provoking imagery, amazing worship and a time of prayer. “This is for Japan, as 9/11 was for America, people around the country are morning and looking for meaning,” says Nick Parsons, Co-founder & Executive Director of Mustard Seed Global Fellowship (MSGF).
MSGF is a church planting organization working to launch a network of Christ-centered churches among the largest unreached cities of the world, and was sent off and still supported by Shepherd. They have become well networked throughout the country of Japan and are working with many other churches and ministries to give immediate relief to the victims of this horrible tragedy. Beyond physical pain, MSGF sees this as an opportunity to reach the un-churched, as Nick states, “This is a great spiritual opportunity in the midst of this tragedy. People are beginning to think about things they haven’t thought of in a long time or maybe have never thought about—like eternity…these same people often don’t give as much thought to eternity and to what that looks like without Christ, so we think this is an opportunity to share with them about the true Savior and Protector in time of tragedy, and that’s Jesus.”
Both the performers and Shepherd of the Hills Church are donating their services, ensuring that 100% of proceeds from this night go to benefit the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit near Sendai on March 11. Funds will be donated to ministries helping with the Japan relief efforts.
