X RED X


When life sails smoothly,
we don’t think
anything of the Red Cross…
But, when things
suddenly fall apart
and help is needed,
the Red Cross is often
 the first group on the scene. 
 Today is
World Red Cross Day. 


Last month,
when Fiji flooded,
the Red Cross shipped supplies
 to the people who needed them…
the Red Cross
has helped people
in 64 countries
have access to clean water…
Remember the Japanese tsunami? 
 The Red Cross are still there,
helping with rebuilding
– communities and lives.
It’s easy to take it
for granted
that organisations will be there
 to pick up the pieces
when we need them…
but, if we really want
these organisations to be there
 for us,
we sometimes need to help them. 
 Being Red Cross Day
would be an excellent time
to head to their website,
check out what
they are currently working on
 and perhaps…
donate a little cash… 
You never know
when you might need them.


And…
for something a little fun,
it was also
No Socks Day today. 
 Unfortunately…
I realised this too late
and wore socks! 
Oh man!
