Are you and your family fine and safe?
That is the first question you ask anyone right now in Kenya.At least most of us are.This is because of the frequent protests that are meant to be peaceful that suddenly turn into some horrorifying fighting matches between the protestors and the police with very unnerving results.
When you live in a period like this in Kenya, the gift of life becomes exactly that, a gift. It becomes something you thank God for all the time.
As we thank God for that gift, there is a huge number of Kenyans who are bitter because of the loved ones they have lost. They are also bitter about the properties and businesses they have lost. Livelihoods have been lost in the millions and probably billions of shillings.Someone once said...it takes time to build, but an even shorter time to destroy.That is a statement that is true in Kenya.
When you have papers reading like this.....
More lives lost...
More killed as rivals differ over peace talks...
Police gun down three gangsters...
6 killed as Annan arrives for crisis talks...
You just hope that you will wake up and it will all be a nightmare.But you wake up and then you realize that this is real life and that you are actually a part of it.It is not in someone else's country.That is why life in Kenya right now is precious and something to be truly grateful for.
When any of our staff haven't reported, you have people asking, where are they?We also try to find out what has happened to those that haven't come in. When we sit for our morning devotions, you can see that we are grateful that God has given us another day. Indeed we are.
