Yesterday I read an amazing book called Hitler's Daughter. It was written by Jackie French and it made me think about some hard questions. In the book Hitler's daughter is kept secret, and she does not know of the outside world. When she hears that many Jewish people would rather hide or run away than go the the "work" camps, she prepares a place for the runaway Jewish people to find solitude. Hitler's daughter cleans a place and covers it with straw, she hides non perishable food items such as jams and jelly's among the straw.
In the book no Jews ever come to place the main character prepared for them, but she still did what she could. The book was meant for young adults, but I really enjoyed it and it made me remember that even when something big and out of my control happening, I can still do something.
Often to me doing what I can means praying. I can't solve many of the problems of the world by myself, but what I can do is pray. It is what you can do. In fact, it was the King says to do in that Christmas Song, "Do you Hear What I Hear?" The king says, "Pray for peace people everywhere." Even though you may not be able to make world peace happen, you can pray, and after all, all you can do is all you can do.
