I feel compeled to write this concerning Haiti. It has been almost a month since the devestating earthquake hit the small island of Haiti. The whole world for a few days stopped to listen and take notice of the poverty, destruction and chaos. Millions of people begin to donate and try to help in their own way. Some large and some small. I am very thankful for their heartfelt sympathy for the Haitian people.
However, many people have given their donation and went on with their lives, feeling good that everything is better. This is not a momentary thing that a few dollars can fix.
As someone that has been going to Haiti for many yrs, these people have struggled all their lives, even generations. They are a very resilent and strong people, but they need help. Not just today or tomorrow, but as long as it takes.
My husband is in Haiti, and as of today many of the people have not received food or relief from any of the organizations that are there. Therefore we as individuals must do what we can to help them. The large organizations are doing a great work, however many are falling in the cracks.

Until we forget about ourselves and think of others the way Jesus thought of us, we will never be worthy to call ourselves a christian.
