Where was God when disaster struck?
God was with the baby who survived
because her window
was the only one in the house
that did not implode.
God was there to comfort
the woman who lost everything
she owned, and most
of her family.
God was with the family
who stuck together
during the tragedy
and survived – together.
God was with the family members
who were separated
before the disaster,
but found each other safe.
God was with the people
who – despite injury and loss –
helped others who could not
assist themselves.
God was there with the families
of the victims
helping them to deal with
the question of why?
God was there with the family
of those who may have caused
the disaster and who are
struggling to understand.
God was there with grace
to pour upon those affected
and help them to carry on
despite unexpected change.
God was there.
