It is unfortunate what happened overnight to the Bronx, NY family from Mali. I read about the incident with sadness and concern this morning. As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain and agony of helplessly watching a child die. I guess what makes it harder is the reality of the conditions these immigrants lived under. It angers me that 22 people lived under a roof....a situation that they might have gladly embraced as an escape from the debilitating state of Mali's economy. Ironically, the heavenly American dream they sought has become a living hell(fire). My heart goes out to the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, other family members and friends.
Prayer: I pray that God will comfort the family. I pray that all they have lost and more will be restored. Even though this could have happened to anyone, I pray that God will have mercy on the continent called Africa and restore us. I pray that the lot of African immigrants in America will be good and that we will have divine wisdom to follow prosperous paths (Amen)
