Returning again to Mr. Rogers words in times of tragedy…let us use this anger and energy to become helpers!
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” — Mister Rogers
Hopefully we too can be part of the helpers
What can I say? Today has just turned into a Mister Rogers kind of day.
Here are his best-known words of wisdom for getting through days like today:
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”
-Rev. Fred Rogers
