A DAY OF JOY FOR HUMAN KIND!!

What a glorious day!, they have rescued the 33 miners in Chile!
For the last two months we have grown used to listening about the terrible ordeal that these poor men and their families were enduring, imagine being trapped a mile under the surface, with slight to none chances of surviving. It went from a headline news to a second rated notice, except for these poor people.
Today billions of people around the world watched, with tears in our eyes, the exhiliarating moments of a great triumph of man kind, of our technology, or persistence, and more than anything, the miracle of life.
It made me think. How lucky we are, no matter how trapped we feel by our economy, our joblessness, our family problems, when we compare our ordeal to what these men went through, all our problems sudenly seem so, so small, so pale.
This day, today, is without a doubt, the happiest day of all of these guy's lives, and why are they so happy?, because they now are aware that no matter how poor they are, how bad their situation was, it can always be much worse and how ever their life was before being trapped, it was a life worth living, they could look at the sunset, admire the beauty of nature, they were loved by their families, they could enjoy the wonders of God's creation for free, and they had taken all of this for granted, as we all do.
We are so immersed in our little world, that we forget to enjoy the truly amazing things that God placed are around us every day.
That is why we all cried, that is why, this is a great day for all of us, humans, because this fantastic event in that tiny town in Chile, has given us all, a chance to reflect, to rethink our priorities, to appreciate what we have, and to praise our God and thank him for making this life so amazingly wonderful!
