Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ Isn't that a terrible verse? A verse that seems to contradict all human feeling? But then, do we know who we'd be tomorrow, if that morrow brings mourning and sorrow? If it brings hunger so vast, that mothers think about eating their own children in order to survive.
Can you be sure, what tomorrow will be made of? To many it is only more of the same. More work, more washing, more cooking, more driving, more yelling and being yelled at. And so on. If there is no peace between me and God today, tomorrow brings no new hope, as much as I'd like it to be.
