They’re Already There

Tragedy this evening in Minnesota has had me glued to the TV for the last hour. As in so many tragic cases, the unquenchable human spirit prevails.

As the journalists described the damage, a news blurb came on saying, “The city of Minneapolis has put out a call for all available emergency personell to come to the scene.” This was said about 20 minutes after the bridge collapse.

The thing is, those with the service oriented personality of emergency specialists were probably already on their way, as soon as they’d heard the news!

This is why I’m so thankful for firemen, cops, ambulance drivers, EMS workers, and anyone else who comes out when the sirens and lights go on. Because we don’t say it enough…thank you. To those who help in the crisis times that are inevitable…thank you.
