A PRAYER FOR THOSE AFFECTED IN THE TRAGEDY

[Guest guest]

Folks:

 

I was reflecting upon yesterdays events as I woke up this morning.

If you think about it, we all got a chance to talk to our families

this morning and trying to decide what we were having to eat fo

breakfat. The fact that we get to think about having breakfast is

such a luxury in the present time. However, there are so many people

yesterday who either did not go to sleep for fear of something

happening and there were some who did not realize what was around

them for they may have been under the influence of a sedative or a

pain killer.

 

There were yet so many people praying that somebody rescue them soon

from the 110 degree fahrenheit rubble, and yet many more who never

got a chance to call their loved ones.

 

We all have the beautiful gift of life and let's make of this gift as

much use as we can. Let us pray for those people still stuck under

the piles of concrete and steel, that they be rescued soon. Let us

pray that those who are hurt, physically and morally come to their

usual self soon, however difficult it may be.

 

And let us pray that those who died in the rubble, may their souls

rest in peace, and may their families be provided for and return to a

normalcy in life as soon as possible.

 

And let us pray even more for the families of those firefighters and

rescue personnel who died yesterday, those who were true martyrs.

 

And for all those medical and rescue personnel still at work in NYC

and elsewhere, may they be blessed for many generations to come for

the kindness they show through their hardwork.

 

We all came to the US in search of life, liberty and the pursuit of

happiness and prosperity and certainly have been granted more than

our share of it.

 

Let's give some part of this prosperity through our prayers for the

affected. Every additional minute you spend in prayer counts at this

moment of despair.

 

I pray today that may any small puNyam that I may gain through any

charity - small or big I commit over the next month count towards

keeping those under the rubble that extra chance so they may be

rescued alive.

 

I hope each of you can join me in making similar commitments and

perform some form of charity - small or big so it may directly or

indirectly count towards the survival and betterment of the

individuals and the families of the affected people.
