Calgary Flood Volunteers

As some of you know, on the other side of my country, great tragedy has stuck. There’s a massive flood rushing through Calgary and the surrounding area, leaving ashes in its wake. So, in response, I’m going to write posts for several weeks talking about things we can learn from the flood.

But let’s start on a positive note.

As with many great disasters, the victims of the flood didn’t remain stranded for long. Volunteers and complete strangers weren’t among the wreckage, looking to help whenever possible.

Out of the goodness of their soul, people were helped and saved by others they knew nothing of. Says something about human nature, huh,

So, today’s a Pollyanna day. Sure, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but in your darkest times, people do help and will help. Sure, you don’t want to make yourself a victim, a helpless soul who needs that help. But when you need it, and we all need it sometime, others seem to come out of the bushes, like Angels from the clouds, and those people save us when we don’t save ourselves.

Feel glad that their are people like that. Be thankful.

After all, you might even be one of them.

Talk to you next week,


Alex H.
