Balancing bad news with good news

These two pictures are copied from today's email in TearFund's Living Lent series. 


Yes, definitely something to celebrate!

I think it is important to celebrate the good news while also noting that: "A billion people remain at the bottom in poverty that just won’t go away. This is especially true in war hot-spots and disaster zones that Tearfund’s partners work in. Here, the ascent out of poverty is often harder than ever. That climb remains perilous and precarious."

I find it easier to do all I can to alleviate the "bad news" when I know that over the years our combined compassion and action does lead to "good news".
