It's been a while since I've posted! I've been hustling through Ramadan, and it's been tough.
One of the toughest things in Ramadan is all the posts on Facebook that I see about the oppression of the Palestinian people during this holy month. There is no respect, it seems. What makes me sad about this is that major atrocities are being carried out everyday, and other than my friends' FB posts, it's not being publicized at all. I can't understand how people will so willingly hurt another human being in any fashion. I feel helpless because i don't know what i can do. I don't think this is something can be solved with one or two peace talks. I think it is a sickness in the hearts of the oppressors and that is not something easily medicated......
So, today I am thankful for the following simple things I take for granted every other day in my life:
Safety
Security
Peace
Freedom
Water
Food at the end of my fasts
My family
My homes
My job
God - and justice - is on the side of the oppressed.
