 CYCLONE 2015 TAMIL NADU

My life in India 11/10/15

November 9, 2015 was the day a Cyclone hit Tamil Nadu, India leaving us without power for 16+ hours.  The winds knocked several large trees and we were not spared.  Fortunately for us there was no damage leaving us the tedious job of removing it from the outside courtyard. We spent most of the day taking photographs from the front porch.   The photograph is of me and my German Shepard, Emmanuel under the fallen tree.  

MY COMMENTARY: 

I have spent a number of blogs recently on intolerance, social justice, persecution and the like coming out of India.  I am believer that it is not likely the common man/ citizens of any country that is the problem but very often governments.  Just as adamant as I was/ am about the circumstances in India I am same the same way with the problems in the USA.  The way I write here is with the same heart I tackle my own countries injustice and others as well for they all come against the vulnerable children, poor, elderly, underprivileged, and unprotected.

I have spent a number of years on and off in India and have seen its beauty, the many helpful/smiling people, and children so friendly full of joy and love, the elderly and those in need/suffering. 

I stay in a village with only a few amenities that would be a western bathroom, I can’t sit on the floor and a set income from Social Security.  Benjamin (not by a long shot) flows from my fingertips. 

This series I will be posting from time to time will reflect the India I made a conscience effort to see and meet.  You will not see photos of noted tourist sites but real life in India. 
I hope you enjoy my journey I have been on as I continue God willing My Life in India.

RAPE

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

RETURNING

  It has been at least four years since I have written anything.  My mission life came to a halt in 2018 when I became very ill while in India.  I spent two and half months in a hospital in India with a 5% chance of survival from my surgery and a 5% chance of surviving Critical Care.  I received amazing care. I was sent back to the states for further treatment especially since I lost my ability to walk.  It was physiological.  It took 9 months before I could walk but walk I did.  The surgery left me with a Colostomy which was troublesome, to say the least.  However, in June of this year, I had a colostomy reversal which was a success and all is back to normal.  I am in a Nursing Home with other medical issues.  It took me until now to accept my life here.  I am in a private room which allows me my quiet, prayer time, crocheting and interacting with friends in the home.   I decided this morning to go back to writing...I hope you will take this journey with me.   Linda Mary Liotino
