He said: Dear God,
I pray that YOU will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.
I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.
Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere anyplace around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others "Think & look at this... when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily....... .
About the picture:
" PULITZER PRIZE " winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

I got this off an email from Minie... Think it's an eye opener and a good reminder of how fortunate and lucky we truly are to be where we are in life JUST coz you CAN SEE THIS MESSAGE... That whatever our shit load in life is, we have it good anyway...
God be with you all...

Started to merely comment on this, then I thought about it and decided to "Blog about this entry". Maybe together we can increase the traffic and the awareness and the prayer. - Barbara

A photo that pulls you up short. Yes, we should each and everyone of us count our blessings and remember those that have nothing. A very thought provoking and sensitive posting, thank you.

Once GOD said to me
"Your job is to take care of anybody, everybody you can.
MY job is to take care of you."
GOD always does HIS job fantastically.
When I see pictures like this, I feel so ashamed that I am NOT
doing my best.
This life is the only chance we have to help anybody to any great degree.
We can tell them the Good News of JESUS CHRIST and save their soul from
death. We can feed the sick, clothe the needy, visit the incarcerated,
and feeble... ALL WE DO FOR OTHERS is as if we were doing it for
JESUS CHIRST HIMSELF.
after we get to heaven, when will we be able to bless our BELOVED SAVIOUR
at all?
HE knows no lack in heaven, nor does anyone.
IF YOU LOVE JESUS, YOU CAN BLESS HIM NOW!
Thank you so much Barbara for your caring, and posting.
love in JESUS,
Cammie
Oh my...sometimes I forget about others....thanks for reminding me how blessed I truly am.
