To the Chinese Fisher Folk on our board..

[Gerritt]

We have alot of members of Asian decent here.. so I thought this appropriate,

 

Given the massive natural disaster in China's most populated province, I hope that if you have family back home that they are safe an accounted for.

 

Thousands dead, and more to come.. during the middle of the day.. 6 schools collapsed full of children..

 

It is with a sad heart that I hope all you're family are safe and well.

Great post Garritt. Prayers to all our OFC brothers and sisters with family and friends in China. Terrible tradegy and hopes that survivors will be found in those collapsed buildings. Just can't imagine anything like that and what those directly impacted must be feeling. My prayers to all of them.

reminds me of my favourite prayer:

 

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace-- that where there is hatred, I may bring love-- that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness-- that where there is discord, I may bring harmony-- that where there is error, I may bring truth-- that where there is doubt, I may bring faith-- that where there is despair, I may bring hope-- that where there are shadows, I may bring light-- that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

 

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted-- to understand, than to be understood-- to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

 

Amen.

Being of Asian decent but not from that particular region, I feel for all of those affected.

 

Not only for the Chinese but for all other groups of people who may have loved one in the region.

 

My thoughts are out to those families affected.

Thoughts go out to you and those affected, a terrible thing to happen.
