Tragic circumstances

SoVaNow.com / February 04, 2010
Dear Viewpoint:

Tragic Circumstances - A disaster happened in the capital of Haiti that man can’t seem to understand, grief, sorrow and tears surround the people of this earthquake damaged land. Loved ones physically and emotionally hurt, lost and many dead. Our Heavenly Father with the help of others will solve the problems of what still lies ahead. Unity and love may not come too often among us but unification is now at hand. Our maker know what He’s doing, this is His earth and most definitely in his land. We as humans will not or may not ever, never understand. A natural disaster has happened again our Father knows exactly why we as humans wonder why so many has too suffer, and why so many has to die.
