One of my sayings is "you don't have to look far to see how good you have it." In that I mean someone always has it worse. Today is one of those reminder days.
The earthquake in Chile makes me once again look at my life and understand how good I have it. The news reports say that the earthquake did not cause the damage in Chile like the damage that was done in Haiti.
There are a number of reason which include the earthquake happened outside capital and Chile has much better building codes - Isn't that a blessing?
Sure it is a blessing! But it may not mean much to people who lost love ones.
On the other hand there will be poeple who have lost everything including love ones who will be thankful to be alive. It never ceases to amazes me how people who go through very troubled times and survive always seem to find away to find a way to count their blessings.
I had a very long week, full of work and little down time. Most of the work did not necessary give an immediate result which can be frustrating. Waking up this morning to the news about the earthquake made me realize how blessed I am and I hope it does the same for you.
Keep the people of Chile and Haiti in your prayers and remember how good you have it - I think we owe it to them!
Here is the newest design. It is perfect for St Patrick's Day but good all year round. Call it blessed or lucky or call it both - u2rblessed!
