Good Days and Bad Days

Corrie and her sister, Betsy, lived Christian lives in prewar Holland.
They responded to the brutality against Jewish people by hiding them in the family home.
When the hiding place was discovered, the sisters were shipped to a death camp where they suffered all the deprivation heaped upon the Jewish prisoners.

In an unusual way Corrie was able to keep a Bible.
She led scripture readings with the other prisoners.
Their outer world of suffering grew "harder and harder."
But she described their inner life as just the opposite.
In her words:

"Our Bible was the center of an ever-widening circle of help and hope. Like waifs clustered around a blazing fire, we gathered about it, holding out our hearts to its warmth and light. The blacker the night around us grew, the brighter and truer and more beautiful burned the word of God. ...

"Life ... took place on two separate levels. One, the observable, external life, grew every day more horrible. The other, the life we lived with God, grew daily better, truth upon truth, glory upon glory."

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
