There Are No Words…
…to express what I feel, as I read news articles on the quake in China. Surveying the images of helpless people, searching for loved ones and buildings reduced to rubble, leaves me nearly speechless.
I cannot even start to imagine how the parents of the missing and dead children must be feeling. How would it feel to know that your child is trapped, possibly still alive, under the ruins of a school house? How excrutiating must it be, to not be allowed access to those ruins, in order to search for your child? Parents are standing by, looking on in desperate hope for their child to be pulled out from the rubble, still alive. Sadly, most of the bodies pulled out, are lifeless. My heart hurts for those people. I don’t care if you are a Communist or not, nobody deserves to suffer like the people of China are. Mother Nature can be so cruel, at times.
Even though we are not able to be physically present, there are still things that we can do to help. I will be praying for the people of China. I’m sure that the Red Crosswill be taking donations, on behalf of China. I implore you all to find a way in which you can help, even if it is just keeping those grief stricken people in your prayers.
