Is it enough to say “My prayers are with you Japan”? And not do ‘anything’ about the situation.
Is it enough to buy a tee-shirt from Gap because ‘all the profits go to Japan earthquake and tsunami relief fund’?
Every time an earthquake or natural disaster happens, it seems to have an effect on the fashion world, a style, a fashion statement.
It gives you a reason to shop. This time it’s legit. For a cause.
What? are natural disasters suppose to be a chance to enlarge the wardrobe?
And it’s always that thought: how do I really know that my money is going where this label say my money is going?
After all, some of these labels have sweatshops in those countries where the disaster hit! Unless we make our own clothes, we don’t really know where they come from or who made them.
Can buying one tee really bring relief for Japan?
I know a prayer will, I believe in prayer.
But then as a human being, I can only do so much. God is in control.
No matter how many tee-shirts I buy or don’t buy or even how much I pray, God will still have his way in the whirlwind and his word will still be fulfilled.
