Do we count our Blessings?
Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU, because..... This morning I woke up and knew where my Grandchildren were. This morning my home was still standing. This morning I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be buried after being pulled out from underneath a pile of concrete. This morning I was able to drink a glass of clean water. This morning I was able to turn on the light. This morning I was able to take a shower... I had food to eat. I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti .
Lord I cry out to you, the one who makes the impossible possible, the one who turns darkness into light, I cry out that you give those mothers strength, give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that you may open the streets so help can come. May you provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all they need without hesitation! For all who have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, and give them courage to continue! Protect the children and shield them with your power. I pray all this.
Friday evening I watched the special Haiti Fundraiser and it was amazing the outpouring of love. People coming together for a common goal. It makes me think of the many blessings that I have in my life. I picked up my phone and made a pledge. Those dear people..... The best I can give is my prayers daily.
