A Heart Heavy For The People Of Haiti

I can't even begin to imagine what the people in Haiti are going through right now. It's hard to relate to what kind of chaotic nightmare they are experiencing.

My heart hurts for them and I just want to scoop up all those precious children and bring them in out of the storm they are in right now. My heart aches for the moms and dads who are desperately looking for their children.

I'm beyond grateful to have a Father in Heaven who hears our collective prayers for Haiti. He alone is worthy of all praise even when life is falling down all around us. He is our Hope!

There are so many ways to help Haiti. I wanted to share with you two organizations I feel strongly about and trust in case you're looking for ways to contribute.

1. Compassion International - www.compassion.com
You can sponsor children all over the world. It's $38.00 a month for one child. This provides them with food, clean water, medical and schooling. They also hear the wonderful news that Jesus loves them!

2. Samaritans Purse - www.samaritanspurse.org
This is run by Franklin Graham ( Billy Grahams son). They go all over the world and provide temporary shelter, food, water, etc in times of crisis. They also share with people what they need the most....that there is Hope found only in Christ.

Both of these organizations have great websites where you can learn more about them and what they are doing in Haiti. You can donate money on both websites for the Haiti people.

I hope today we all take many moments to mentally list all we have to be grateful for. Do you have clean water, a warm bed at night, enough food, do you know where your loved ones are? If so then you are truly blessed .
