La tristesse pour les haïtiens

Please tell me, readers, that you know something of what has happened in Haïti.

That you care.

That you who are income earners are going to give.

That you who preach & live with Christ as Lord & yourselves as His servants are praying about this:
~ for the provision of basic needs - especially medical treatment - and more
~ for the preservation of human lives which, if lost, may also be eternally lost (I understand that this nation is nowhere near Christian)
~ for the proclamation of the good news of Jesus in places like Haïti & among all unreached peoples of the world
- that they might have more opportunity to respond rightly to Him, the Risen One whom God has appointed, & by whom He will justly judge all..

Oh that I had more to give than my unemployment benefit allows. And yet I'm so much more well-off than even the Haïtian leaders at the present time.

Oh, and better off than the homeless of India, too.

*sigh*

More than once since the New Year began, I have considered how helpful a regular income can be for donating to causes when the rest of this world is in such dire need. Physically - and, more importantly, spiritually.
