Feeling safe in Cairo
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Note: this article was written following the April 7, 2005 terrorist bombing in the Khan al-Khalili district of Cairo, in which four people died.
My husband and I are American and have lived in Cairo, Egypt, for the past year. This has been a kind of homecoming for me, returning to the country where I spent four happy years of childhood. But there have been changes. Today there are armed guards on every street corner. When I take visitors sightseeing to the Pyramids, I'm aware of the danger from insurgents who recently bombed the marketplace.
So I pray to know—not just hope—that we are all safe. And I do feel safe. Why? Because I lean on divine Love, on God, in every situation. This helps me deal with the stress of daily living. And as a parent and a host to visitors, it is the responsible thing for me to do.
