More Natural Horrors...


You can still see the glass jars and toaster that once was the cozy kitchen to a family....
So many heart breaking disasters have been going on around the world...
and now in the southern states of the US...
a massive Tornado has killed over 200 people and made parts of Alabama look like a bomb hit it...





Alabama reported 180 people killed
Mississippi 32
Tennessee 33 (my sweet great-grama was from Tenessee)
Georgia at least 10
and Virginia has lost eight...there are even more states with more being reported missing and killed.


People's entire homes are missing, hospitals are filled to capacity, power has been out for days in some areas and the death tolls keep rising...
It doesn't matter what country we're from or what nationality we are...we all have a heart that beats and a desire to be loved and have a safe place to call home.
Please pray for the people who are now dealing with this in their day...

The poor Red Cross is trying to help out with all the disasters all over the world...and though we can't be there with our hands, we can help donate money to give the hands that can, some help

Prayers for Japan

I had meant to write this journal entry yesterday, but something stopped me. I think that it was just too soon after the shock. I just can't believe the amount of devastation that we have witnessed in the past 7 years! Indonesia, Haiti and now Japan to just name a few. It's so sickening to think of the love ones that have been lost and the families left behind whose lives will never be the same.

Here is my prayer for Japan. That those who have suffered losses will be given hope, strength and peace. That those hurt will recover and be healed. That those missing will be found safe and sound. That the nuclear situation will be gotten under control so that no more suffering occurs.. and that Japan will find help wherever and whenever they need it.

All my love goes out to you Japan.

For those of us blessed enough to be safe one more day, let us learn from this. We never know what lies around the corner so we mustn't sweat the small stuff, be grateful for everyday that we are alive, treat others with kindness, compassion and generosity and live our lives to the fullest each and every day.
