I've heard so many of my friends and family tell me about the refugees from New Orleans. I think about the tsunami in Thailand and now Hurricane Katrina in America. I went to one area that was destroyed by the tsunami. But it was six months after it happened. Some of those who I've heard from have been caring for the refugees just days after the levees broke. I didn't get that close to the disaster. I really admire you all that are sheltering the homeless or going to the Astrodome in Houston to volunteer. You are serving the Lord Jesus as you do this work.
"Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"
He will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of one of the brothers of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:37-40 (NIV)
You wrote to me you could not be where the disaster happened. Now it is the reverse.
Thai people have expressed sadness at the news. A taxi driver asked me if I was from the place that the hurricane hit. Others in the world care about America.
