A WORD TO THE WISE AT HEART.

It is amazing to see and hear how many people in Houston are complaining about their situation.

Angry mothers are cursing at the reporters in front of their children, not realizing that the camera is their opportunity to get more help from people around the country.

While there are those who are thankful for their rescue from strangers, many are blaming the local authorities for not coming to their rescue fast enough or giving them a better alternative.

Let's face it, everyone in Houston is affected in some way by this catastrophe.

Blaming someone should not be anybody's first response after being rescued, but thankfulness and gratitude just for being alive.

Too many people live their lives believing that in time of danger, some agency of government suppose to show up immediately and make their situation go away. 

Well, I hope after this experience, lessons learned.

We all have the responsibility to prepare for impending danger and not live carelessly thinking that tomorrow is promised with all the good things we enjoy.

More hurricanes are coming, more earthquakes, more tornados, more fires, yes and even more people shooting guns in public places.

We cannot live in fear, but we can and should take responsibility for ourselves and families.     HERE IS A CHECK LIST:---

Love God and serve others.

Pray daily and teach your children to do the same.

Deny yourself some extra things and put away some cash.

Put away some extra dry imperishable food.

Don't cut yourself off from family.

Teach your children the basics of life.

Stop complaining.

Be ready for whatever comes and stop believing the government has your back.
