Maybe you have see this photo, maybe not. Aylan Kurdi was a three year old Syrian boy who washed up on the beach in Turkey after the boat he and his family was traveling in capsized, They were fleeing the increasing violence in Syria. His five year old brother and mother died in the accident as well. As of September 3, they are just three of the 2,600 people who have died at sea escaping Syria. This picture has galvanized Europe into action. Not all of the action is in favor of the refugees. Many refugees hit road blocks in Hungary and other places. Those fortunate enough to make it to Austria and Germany are warmly welcomed. European leaders are struggling to work out a equitable solution to deal with the 350,000 people already on the continent. More are coming every day.
Pray for refugees and migrants through out the world, especially the children. Truly these innocents deserve safety and the freedom to grow up in a world free of fear. By our action may his death not be in vain. Peace. tim
