Less than a month, the world population has decreased maybe by a millon?
I was reading the news today about how the Chinese military finally reached the epicentre of the earthquake. Although its alil late but better late than never. I can feel the glimpse light and hope felt by the distressed cirizens thats was cut off from the outside world since the earthquake. Imagine being trapped under the rubble for days without food and water and the uncertainty of when help will be arriving. Not knowing if your family and friends are still alive. Or to be prepared to see the lifeless bodies of them. Fear.
On the other hand for Myanmar Cyclone Nargis, many are homeless now. Whats worst is relief supplies has yet to reach them. Natural Disaster has taken away their house, their family and their lives. Imagine yourself as a kid losing your parents to the storm and now you have to fend for yourself alongside with strangers. You really dont know whats gonna happen next. Fear.
These events got me thinking. Have we been too caught up with our self-indulgent lives that we forgot to appreciate people and the lil things done for us? Maybe we should stop thinking about 'me' but more of 'them', 'you' or 'they'.Be grateful with what you have and value those around you.
Lets pause for a minute of silence for those whom has departed from this world due to the disasters...
Dear friends/readers, please pray that God will bless those affected by the disasters and that he will sent his angels to comfort these people with love, strength and determination.
