Addendum to “Helping Japan”

Let me add this… it’s a perfect example of what I was talking about in my previous post. One of our 16-year-old girls started “Wear Red for Japan” to raise awareness of the plight of the people in Japan… to help people remember what happened, and remember to pray, and remember to help however they can. A middle aged woman posted this on the Wear Red for Japan page: “It could happen to us and I guarantee you when it does, Japan will cheer and spit on us”. Emily’s reply? “Maybe they will. But maybe, somehow, they’ll hear about what some American kids started and how on one day a whole bunch of people wore red for them and maybe they’ll wear red, white, and blue for us. No one is forcing you to wear red. It’s a choice you make for yourself. I pray you make the choice to remember these victims on this day.” Wow. Maybe I shouldn’t worry so much about our future. Looks like it may be better and brighter than our past.
