Hope, tragedy and repentance are the threads that weave the tapestry of life. We experience them at different times in our lives and in varying degrees. Each time we decide how we will deal with them. Some of them are easy to deal with  like the boy who is thrilled with food and water. Still we have food and water and fail to celebrate it. So we miss the chance to rejoice once again and fail to thank God. The college Junior had so much and never appreciated it all; she was high and absorbed in her life style when her parents provided for her adequately. Are we any different from her? Are we absorbed in our lifestyles whatever they are? Are we high on our cause or lastest thing? Are we to busy to notice someone hurting beside us? Is there a tragedy next to us ready to happen and we are insensitive to that person? Should we all join the third man  who had repented and changed his way of life? Is our way of life hurting sommeone because we are insensitive or uncaring to human need? We all see tragedy every day. Sometimes it is off is another country like Haiti and sometimes it is very close by-maybe our neighbor or frined. We think I never dreamed they were in need. They never ask for help. People hurt silently.People die alone. We must do the reaching out. Look for one in need. Reach out for the lonely, the hurting, the holic of whatever brand. People need people. You and I are people. We can reach people. We too have at times needed people; how fortunate we were if someone was there for us. I have been disabled and often needed someone--sometimes were it not for God, I would not have made it.
