(NEWSER) – Thousands of exhausted, elated migrants reached their dream destinations of Germany and Austria today, completing epic journeys by boat, bus, train, and foot to escape war and poverty. Before dawn, they clambered off a fleet of Hungarian buses at the Austrian border to find a warm welcome from charity workers offering beds and hot tea. Within a few more hours of rapid-fire aid, many found themselves whisked by train to destinations in Austria and Germany.

The surprise overnight effort, which involved about 100 busloads of migrants and refugees, eased immediate pressure on Hungary, which has struggled to manage the flow of thousands of migrants arriving daily from non-EU member Serbia.

Pride is a killer…

I wonder how the world we be if everyone else was proud to be: compassionate, understanding, caring, sharing, tolerant, peace loving….you get the idea?

In understanding, be men

In the eyes of caring children, all, all is possible.

In the minds of damaged children, nothing is possible.       gg.

 

Think about it….

paradoxical perspective

D-I-Y

ever noticed how, almost without regard to what religion or religious tradition we look at, there is always an expectation that God will do something that we are perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

Eastern Star

Chinese salvagers have begun to right an upturned ship on which more than 400 people are thought to have died.The Eastern Star sank in the Yangtze River on Tuesday after being caught in what was said to be a freak storm.Just 14 of the 456 mostly elderly passengers are known to have survived the accident, which looks likely to be China's worst boat disaster in decades.

In the midst of tragedy, kindness and compassion shine like a million candles.

Sometimes it takes the worst of life circumstances to bring out the best in us.
