"These too small children, listlessly clutching small bundles composed of everything they own in the world, barely look up. And, on the few occasions I do catch their eye, I see my own children's eyes looking back at me. It makes me want to scream, but instead I nearly cry." Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent (CNN).
Faduma Sakow Abdullahi and her five children tried to escape starvation in Somalia by journeying to a Kenyan refugee camp. Only one day before they reached their destination, her 4-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son died of exhaustion and hunger. At first the 29-year-old widow thought the two were merely sleeping when they wouldn’t get up after a brief rest. She had to leave their bodies under a tree, unburied, so she could push on with her baby, 2-year-old and 3-year-old. 
Were it not for God's hand of mercy, would Alexander be one of the little ones suffering? Is his family in Ethiopia okay? Have his grandparents, his aunts/uncles, his mother/father been forced to walk for countless days to a refugee camp simply in hope of securing a drink of water? No answers. Only questions. Will you join me in petitioning our Father for comfort, protection & peace for those in the horn of Africa who find themselves living in one of the most desperate places on earth?

There is a classic hymn entitled 'No, Never Alone'. The lyrics of the chorus, No, never alone, no never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me a alone...; a simple reminder of God's constant presence in our lives.
The frog did not turn into a princess. Better luck next time, X-man :) 
Either that, or evidence of a really large rodent on the loose; i hope not!)
