Seems to get scarier each time…

When you live in an area which is safe, and unaffected by the trials those in other lands suffer, you kinda start to take it for granted.  Until something comes along knocks a dose of reality into and makes you truly want to repent to Allah for every single thing you’ve ever done.  In this specific case, that something would be a 7-10 second earthquake that felt way longer than that.  It’s something that shakes a person, literally, into realizing we’re not in control of anything, not even in the homes we live in.   Alhamdulillah for everything we’ve been blessed with! <3
