Joy Amidst Tragedy

It has been awhile,since I posted a blog.At this moment I feel inclined todo so and share my feelings.
The tragedy that struck Haiti touches us deeply here in South Florida,as we have a large Hatian community. I do have Hatian friends with family
overthere.So it touches me also profoundly.
Most Hatians are very poor,but they are the most wonderful ,decent people with dignity and exceptional manners.
It touched my heart,to see that today Sunday,despite
the horrible conditions they are going through many of them got together to pray and ask for strength from God,NOT from witchcraft as so many people
believe.Their belief in God is deep and their faith is strong.
As I feel very sad to see how people have been dying after being rescued,because of lack of help,water and food,at the same time I feel joy to see
the whole world coming together spontaneously to
help a nation in dispair.Nations working together to bring comfort and care.
God is smiling,because this was His intention since He created the world.Mother earth is elated ,because the WORLD has opened it's heart wide,filled with compassion and love for his fellow man.This is the beginning of the shift,a very positive beginning ,because of a horrible tragedy. It is said,that out of any tragedy something good will come.I can only say:"Thank you God for a miracle amidst so much suffering".
What comes to my mind right now is one of my favourite songs by Louis Armstrong:"What a wonderful World". Let's not forget this moment EVER..
It is the beginning of love and compassion prevailing
above all.
This tragedy has brought out the best in humanity.This is really who we are as a people:loving,caring,compassionate human beings.
