God, Give Them Strength

Let us spare some thoughts for our brothers and sisters in Palestine during this difficult time of theirs. While we are busy making plans and indulging in this long holiday period, let us think for a moment about all those people who are kept busy all year long by the threat of bullets and bombs from the enemy. We are pleased to have had the chance to go on a Boxing Day shopping spree, when thousands of others in the Gaza Strip do not even have enough food and warm clothing and had to endure the sight of a killing spree. Let us share our grievance amidst the sparkles and sounds of fireworks in celebration of the New Year for the fate of young Palestinian kids who are not even unsure if they or their family members could survive another day.

May God give them patience, and may they be rewarded with goodness here in this world and the hereafter.
