Rest in Peace
Today at my school, we had a few new students. Nothing new really except that they are victims from the hurricane with no home to go to. The tradgey is being felt across the nation. We tend to want to point fingers. There’s no doubt things could have been handled differently, quicker, more humanily. I find myself asking,"Why did this happen to so many children,animals, and innocent people? Why did God let this happen?" I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Somewhere something or someone became stronger or learned something from this disaster. There’s a divine plan…and the earth is so much greater then we will ever know or comprehend. I did not lose anything in the disaster except a slight sense of security. So many people lost so much. I have donated some money but that act feels so empty. In many ways I would like to go and be an extra set of hands and in many ways I am glad I am far away. It is sad how America thinks. We embody,"It won’t happen to me" and I must say I have been embarassed to be American more then once. We are more then blessed, we are spoiled and blind. This eye opening occurence has changed people: the way we will prepare, the way we see the leaders, the way we see each other. So, if you can’t be there in person to lend a helping hand, just be there in thought and prayer. We are red,white and blue dust in the wind…………….
