On today, of all days, take a moment to reflect on the lives of those who are undergoing tremendous sacrifices to attain safety and peace for their families. It is surprising how easy it is to forget that those numbers we hear all of the time reflect the lives of actual people, each with their own story and each with their own struggle.
