Happenings

Just Like Sam

February 17, 2009

Everytime there is a horrific tragedy, no matter how terrible it is, some miracle will happen amidst that seems to tell everyone there no matter how bad it is, there is still hope. It is almost like somehow there is a divine intervention just to drive that message across.

I hear of people who survived for a few days in a trapped building, I hear of people who survived for a few days drifting in the sea after a giant tsunami, and now I hear of a koala bear who survived the worst bush fire ever in Australia.

Sam, the koala bear, was found by a fire fighter who stopped his fire truck in order to rescue her.  The fire fighter gave her water to drink, she grabbed his hand and promptly drank 3 bottles of water. Her paws were burnt, and is now currently recovering in an animal shelter. The picture shown above has since captured the hearts of millions around the world.

Watching the video, I am inspired. I can tell myself, no matter how bad the situation is, there is always small pockets of miracle. There is always hope. Just like Sam.
