ARE WE PREPARED?

CHINA.....EARTHQUAKE, UNBELIEVABLE, BURMA.....CYCLONE UNBELIEVABLE..THE TSUNAMI MEMORIES ARE STILL FRESH IN MY MIND'S EYE AS ONE AFTER THE OTHER I VIEW THE HORRORS OF LIFE.
The pain is palpable, 900 children buried alive at one school in China. All the schools have tumbled. Why would anybody, children especially deserve to die like that? Can u imagine knocking or calling out as the days pass, Is it not unimaginable ?
U send your children to school, u expect them to come home......u go to work, u expect to go home at the end of the day..........u expect to have dinner together and discuss your day as a family . Nothing prepares you to sit at the school gate and wait for your child to be dug out 5 days after an earthquake, or dig him or her out yourself....AND THEN TO LEARN THE SCHOOL WAS NOT BUILT PROPERLY.....
How often have u heard 'in the middle of life we are in death'. China is experiencing that now........THE OLYMPICS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Who could have imagined they would experience this tragedy right before.
Think about it and be prepared. A gentleman told me the other day that we must always be prepared as when his wife was 38,they went to their bed and at 5am he woke and saw her gasping for breath, he said to her lets go to the hospital, she got up , put her clothes on ,walked to the car and by the time they reached the hospital 20 mins away they pronounced her dead on arrival.....They had 4 children.
He was not prepared.
All those tornadoes that we are seeing weekly in the united states, shouldn`t they learn by now that their houses need to be built with steel? Building your house out of dry wall is not being prepared......
Another saying i have always heard "we see today, we don`t see tomorrow ".........I think that's one thing we cancer patients KNOW FOR SURE......so we take nothing for granted, we enjoy, we forgive, we laugh, we cry, we love, we live.
We KNOW that in the midst of life we are in death, we KNOW we might not see tomorrow,so we give thanks as we learn the lesson 'out of every evil cometh good'.
WE ARE PREPARED
