(244) No hope?

Today I was hopping channels among BBC, CNN, CCTV and Al Jazeera. The image that struck me was an interview with a small family in Spain. The father is jobless, the mother is unemployed and the boy is still young.

According to the man of the family, he and his wife could find no job. His parents ended up helping his family. He can see no hope for his son. What a bind for the present three generations! No wonder a fair amount of people migrate from Spain to South America. What a predicament to be in! For urban folks, there is not even land for the poor to till and grow food.

What went wrong?

I can see little human solution. One country after another went into economic crisis. But surely the Almighty who created us has good plans for each country and each individual. We have to turn to Him and He is just a prayer away.
