We have food storage as well, as you know and I think you are right. We will be asked to share it with others should the need arise. It is what the Saviour would do. Have a wonderful Sabbath. xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-92008854788553042272011-03-19T13:42:32.732-07:002011-03-19T13:42:32.732-07:00I have had some of the same thoughts as you on thi...I have had some of the same thoughts as you on this. I was telling Kent and Trevor that I bet we don't see the looting in Japan like we did after Katrina. We are also not seeing people just sitting around waiting for someone else to be responsible for them, like we did in the aftermath of Katrina. Understandably, the victims of Katrina needed help, but I was appauled at the level of entitlement I saw. You have to hand it to the people of Japan - they know how to act in their own behalf and for the benefit of others rather than just expecting someone else to be responsible for their welfare.Caroline Cravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197251841557790229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-66918202225479324972011-03-19T11:28:43.897-07:002011-03-19T11:28:43.897-07:00Big difference in cultures. I think sometimes the ...Big difference in cultures. I think sometimes the people of U.S. feel entitled to be helped when disaster strikes our country. Our church has sent water and bagged dry food which I sometimes wonder if they will receive it all all. Everyday a shipment goes to the airport and we can only pray that it will be of some help. <br /><br />Bonnie, I remember the time of Katrina and dad was here with the Texas State Guard. I didn't like seeing my father holding a weapon but they guarded those displaced people over at Camp Bullis like hawks. I do remember very vividly, the looting that took place over in Louisiana. What do they think of themselves now...one has to wonder.<br /><br />I remember in 1970 when we had an F5 tornado hit Lubbock...I was seven years old and I remember to this day, Mayor Granberry putting the city on a tight curfew and that the city police had orders to shoot looters on sight. No looting occurred. Everyone and everything was kept safe.<br /><br />There are definitely lessons to be learned from this. I don't think this is the last of natural disasters that we will see. <br /><br />DeannaDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290423239878428526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421770883465385103.post-60862227213883541802011-03-19T07:27:25.814-07:002011-03-19T07:27:25.814-07:00It is such a shame that it takes disasters for man...It is such a shame that it takes disasters for mankind to pull together and act out of love for one another! I've noticed this time and again as I'm reading through I & II Chronicles. It took GOD'S wrath upon the sin of Judah/Israel before they would recognize their sin and repent, upon which the blessings of the LORD became bountiful! I'm praying that this calamity will bring about the bountiful salvation of many. This is the only sense I can make out of such devastation.<br /><br />GOD will be praised!<br />In love,<br />Susansistersusiesayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753668561920609089noreply@blogger.com
