Haiyan
I sit here, dreaming of Christmas while in the Philippines thousands die and I struggle, celebrating the season when for so many it will never come or may come without the same joy I enjoy
no tearing of flimsy paper no welcoming of distant loves no shelter from the world outside
it is so vastly unfair they endure this pain as daily I take such joy for granted the greatest of my worries insignificant by comparison to their fight to survive and I ask our mutual God some questions
why such pain for them while I have little how do I wrap my life around so great a loss where is Your grace amidst this calamity
oh my God! grant me the sight to not belittle You or aggrandize death let me do justice to Your Word and these whose lives have been shattered even as I celebrate salvation
