Absorbing the News

For the past week, I have been flabbergasted and saddened by the news of the devastation in Japan.  How can I even begin to understand their pain, hurt, loss, or sorrow?  I am very amazed and uplifted by the resiliency of the good, hard working people of Japan.

What a difference between their reactions and determination and the reactions and victimization following Hurricane Katrina!

I can't even understand enough to truly empathize since I haven't experience anything remotely like this.  But I sympathize and I pray for the people and their nation as they deal with this tragedy. There isn't much more I can do, but redetermine to live my life seeking ways to help those around me and hope that is enough for now.

Our prayers are what I hope will help the most. That and upping our fast offerings some, to help with the church's effort. My heart just breaks for these people. xoxoox
