May our beginnings spill over - thinking of Haiti
Submitted by Melissa L on Wed, 2010-01-20 12:27
A prayer...As we are excited to see a new community taking shape in Longfellow - I can't help but consider the stark contrast with the unthinkable horrors people are experiencing at this very moment in Haiti. May our coming together here ripple, inspiring and equipping all of us to be generous and open with our lives in ways that reduce suffering near and far. Amen
My 6-year old's first grade classroom is collecting "pennies for peace" to be sent to the Red Cross efforts in Haiti. I know all of you are finding organizations you trust and know to donate to. Many last week at Jacob's Well Field began the process of considering and planning a trip to Haiti down the road with our friend Darrell. All these things we hold up in prayer too.

this is a great idea and I would love to be a part of a rebuiding/repair trip to Haiti in the future. It's true, we are so focused on what's going on with the Longfellow Site Preview and all the details surrounding that we an very easily forget that people in other parts of the world, and especially Haiti right now, don't have very much to look forward to... I wonder if there's something special in that simplicity... nonetheless, people are dying and have died because of this earthquake and we need to respond with our hearts and our resources. Praying with all of you...
