Why do we sacrifice?
The truth is sacrifices regularly go unanswered. No matter how much is given, the answer is often.... silence.
If sacrifices don't bring us what we want... why do we keep making them? Maybe the answer lies in the word itself. Sacrifice comes from 2 Latin words; "sacra" and "facere" which mean to make holy. What is offered up in a sacrifice, even an unanswered one, is not lost.... it's made holy.
We may not change the future with our sacrifices, but we always change... ourselves.
