It is with a heavy heart that we come to you, not necessarily knowing what we should ask for because many of us are wondering, “Why did this happen? Why has tragedy struck Haiti again and why do so many lives have to be lost again? Why has this beautiful island been struck by a catastrophic earthquake and ruined?” But as many questions as we have regarding the situation, we still humble ourselves before you to ask for your mercy to be upon Haiti and its people. Extend your hand upon the land and restore all that has been lost, destroyed and damaged to be better than it was before. As rescue teams search for casualties, give them foresight. May they be led by your wisdom, and encouraged by your strength and advised by your discernment. There are yet people who are surviving and I pray that the rescue workers would find them in time and revive them. For the lives that will be lost, we pray for immediate comfort to come to the family and friends of the deceased. For those of us who are watching this unfold from the outside, I pray that you would give us hearts of compassion so that we can give out of our surplus to fill the deficit that is widening in Haiti. May we all extend ourselves in any way possible to secure our brothers and sisters in Haiti. And may every prayer regarding this tragedy be heard and responded to in your good time.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
I failed to notice your Keith Green song....so perfect for today’s devastation in Haiti.

Good afternoon, we had a meeting after church to decide what to do about the flooded sanctuary (burst pipe). It’s drying up nicely and we tabled doing anything for now. Not wanting to put money into a church that will be closing it’s doors in about 6 months.

Lovely, sweet message today, Rus! This Psalm tells us why abortion is always wrong! God knew each of us when we were in our Mother’s wombs. I read this Psalm in King James and The Living Bible. Both explains why life is always first.
Thank you for this devotion.
This is so beautiful, Meg! I’m a little late getting here but its been a busy day. I made it to church and we had communion and that takes a little longer but I am glad I was there. One of our wonderful men from the choir sang a solo of Sweet Little Jesus Boy which was so beautiful. It was a nice sunny day too! A light jacket was nice today.
Wow....that bird is so outstandingly beautiful!!
