We’ve seen them on TV, children and teenagers, and even adults extending
their empty pots and pans with the hope of getting a bowl of food, whatever
that food is. It looks like some kind of yellow soup, certainly doesn’t look appetizing
at all. I wonder how nutritious and
tasty it is. These hundreds of children have been without food for weeks. And
they lack many other things....water, love, attention, a big hug, shelter, a home,
a future, a family, some toys, something to entertain them, friends to play
with, a good night rest on a comfortable bed, a shower, some decent clothes,
and so much more !All around them they see debris everywhere, collapsed and
destroyed buildings, dust everywhere, bombs falling, parachutes opening up with
food coming down on them, as other stronger boys get to the packed food before
them. And yet they hope, they suffer, they cry, they yearn for peace. As we
watch and wonder, we pray for peace and ask: when will it all end?
