As the world reels from the horrific results of the tsunami that took so many lives and caused such destruction, good people from around the globe responded by giving and giving generously.
A great many candles have been lit by the generosity of donors.
In Canada aid agencies were working overtime taking pledges from generous hearted Canadians. One agency reported it had enough funds to operate for 20 years. Just about every media company is featuring ways by which Canadians can donate.
There are workplace collections, donor boxes at local grocers, special bank accounts set up by various faith based organizations. The ways which people are coming up with in order to help thos in need is truly staggering.
Our globe should be glowing with the generosity of peoples spirit, if there was a way to measure this generous giving in physical terms.
Suffice it to say that in a world filled with war and violence, ordinary people are just opening their hearts and their purse strings to help those most in need, in the best traditions of "Light One Candle".
