Thank you for that post Effie.

He sits huddled in his home in Beit Sahour (Beit Sahour is
Shepherd's Field-here lived the shepherds who heard the angels announce
Christ's birth and even today 2000 years later their descendants live in this
town, men as gentle and hard-working as those shepherds of Christ's time)
with his wife and children, praying that the Israeli soldiers will not enter
his house or that some emergency will force him to leave the house. I found this a very moving paragraph. How the suffering of humanity resonates through the ages and across cultures, binding us all together in compassion.
