Still complaining?

I sat down in the course of the week to watch some of the News networks confounded and lost with the amount of devastation that rocked the country of Haiti after the recent incidents of the earthquake and Aftershock effects. Then the coverage of a band of brothers and sisters and remnants of a family taking resident on one of the roads were shown doing something. They had lost loved ones, family members, their life's possessions, their homes, dignity and even most of their country. Yet they were not on the road sulking, whining or asking why, they were making music with scraps, mangled iron and plastic from the disaster, singing and praising God that some of them were still alive.

For in death there is no remembrance of You;In the grave who will give You thanks?
Psalm 6:5 (NKJV)

Friends, this was indeed another dimension of life and its futility. As rain fell on the rich and poor, so the quake shook and crumbled the castles and the shanties, the best of man couldn't stand against the momentary shaking of nature. Father, we will rather serve and thank you than take anything for granted.

Be encouraged,
