Thanksgiving

I hope that all of my readers have a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends surrounding them. I hope that you all pause at some time during your day to pray for Peace in the world. There are so many places in our world today where there is no peace, the latest being Mumbai, India, as we learned last night. The Family of Man is suffering, from repression, from violence, from hunger, and from cold. Let us do whatever we can to alleviate that suffering. At the very least, let us pray.

Last night I emailed a fellow blogger who lives in Mumbai. This morning I found his reply to my email. It read as follows:

"Dear Barbara,

Thanks for your mail. I'm doing fine.

All the places attacked are the ones I frequent regularly.

The city is yet to stabilize this morning. Encounters between the terrorists and the law enforcement agencies is still on, disrupting rail services, and contributing to the panic across the city.

Thanks for the prayers, people will be needing all the moral support they can get. Over 100 people lost their lives in the co-ordinated attacks by the terrorists, and hundreds more injured.

Situation till uncertain.

Regards,

Anil

When everything is said and done, there is still some doing to do.

Let's all continue to pray for the people of Mumbai, and to remember what we have in our country.
