Checking the BBC news site is part of my daily routine because the BBC offers a different perspective than North American news sources. Just about every day recently the situation in Pakistan is front and centre. Not so here in Canada, nor in the States. Who knows why. Severe flooding continues and so does the misery for displaced people, which now stands at 17 million.
I will point out that if you give through the United Church there will be matching funds provided by the Canadian government. This is what happened when the earthquake struck Haiti, and the federal government has come through again. It's the right thing to do, even though the government was slower off the mark this time.
I hope you will be moved to give. It's also the right thing to do. Reader Laurie mentioned a couple of weeks ago that she made a contribution, but wonders about fatigue. It's my prayer that we all realize how blessed we are in this country and are moved to generosity.
