Sometimes
it takes terrible tragedies to demonstrate the wonderful caring and compassion
in so many human hearts.
It
can be easy to get pulled down and depressed by all the stories of suffering
and sadness in the news, but there are also many uplifting and heartwarming
stories, which bring hope that our world is changing and many are responding to
the Aquarian energy of brotherhood in action.
Here
in the UK in these last few days, there have been many stories in the media
linked with the Grenfell Tower fire a year ago now, when so many people lost
their lives in tragic circumstances. It seems that such a loss could have been
avoided, and enough action has not yet been taken to avoid another tragedy.
Many people are justifiably angry, but the wonderful things is that out of this fiery passion good can come. For example, some are using social media in
constructive ways to get something done. The message is`out of this terrible
happening, we can help things change`. And then, the extraordinary stories of
courage at the time - the firemen who went into the blaze again and again, with
no thought for themselves, to rescue more people.
In
the news at this same time have been the sad pictures of the suffering in
Guatemala following the Fuego ( which means fire in Spanish) volcano eruptions.
As some of my readers know, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some days
in Guatemala in March this year, and I stayed near where the volcano has been
erupting. Please join me in prayer for the very dear people of this
beautiful but much challenged country. Friends we made while there have written
of the courage and care of very poor village people, who themselves have so
little, donating to help those who have lost their homes.
