Fairytale lights... and brutal reality

I just went to see Butchart Gardens lights... how gorgeous can you get? Seriously. It's like being in a fairy tale, and then to add to the glory, you can see the "Twelve Days of Christmas"... I half expected a knight in shining armor to come and sweep me onto his stallion! *sigh* Then I listened to the news, and reality comes crashing in. The earthquake/tsunami reaction is awful... I can hardly bear to watch the suffering wrought on the poor civilians. I can only support from afar, financially, and pray. It sucks. The whole "can't do anything about it" scenario. At times like these it's hard to see God's plan, but we can only wait and trust in His love and power. Not an easy thing. God, please comfort those who suffer... Until later... waiting for His guidance.
