As we go about enjoying this beautiful and peaceful Sunday let us keep those fleeing for their lives in our thoughts. Today I learned that another boat with immigrant sunk off the Greek Island of Lesbos. Fourteen people are feared dead including a five year-old child. Let’s say a word of prayer for them. So much turmoil in the world…if only we as humans had the capacity to love one another, what a difference it would make.

Refugees Fed Like Animals

Feeding the refugees was a good gesture but it could have been done in a more humane manner. Remember they are people not animals and even animals are treated better than this.
Hungarian Reporter Kicks and Trips Refugees
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4N64x797so
This video is very painful to watch. It is disgusting that this Hungarian reporter was so insensitive to the plight of Syrian refugees and that she would resort to kicking and tripping some of them as they ran for their lives. How can someone be so heartless is something I cannot understand. Talk about kicking someone when they are down… She was fired from her job and rightly so. Her behavior was disgraceful.
Syrian Refugees
Beginning today treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. (Og Mandino)
This quote is one by which we should all try to live. Kudos to Germany for taking in the Syrian refugees. It warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes to see hundreds welcomed in Germany after the long walk from Budapest. It is heartbreaking to see what these people are going through as they try to flee war strikened Syria. The body of that little boy washed up on a beach after the overcrowded boat that they were in sank is forever etched in my memory. So many have lost their lives trying to escape. I pray that all those who can help will continue to welcome these refugees with open arms and hearts.
