The cost of a thing, is the amount of what I will call 'life', which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run

Yet another earthquake. Another plane crash. Another flood. Another death. One following the other. Not in a second we doubt, God, that you love us, and that your heart cry with us as these all happens. What can be done, God, what do you want us to do? What can we do is a never ending question in our limited time, limited resources and limited means. But You are the unlimited God. You have it all. Use us to make it happen.

Please be with them. Be with every family who right now is trying to make sense of all things. Why all of a sudden, it felt like everything was taken away. Help us to make sense it all, help us to know and to appreciate life, the greatest gift that You gave us, that as long as we live, we can survive and we can create happiness amongst all that happens.

Please be with us. Be with us whom hearts You have stirred. Not in anger but in compassion. So that we can be your hands and feet, right here and in this moment, where You have put each one for your purpose and your plan. What can we do, God, is not the question, but help us to be your hands and feet.

Thank you for loving us. Thank you for showing us that You care. Thank you for shifting our attention to them. Thank you for the opportunity, once again, to love our neighbors.
