There and helping

There are many groups of people on the ground in Haiti. Foreign agencies have been present there for many years, each doing their part to care for those who most need the basics in life. Haiti is among the poorest nations on earth, and the lessons learned from lending a helping hand are invaluable for those who have the opportunity to be there.

Among those who are helping is the group known as Healing Hands. With the aid of pictures and words, they are spreading the news about the devastation that has resulted from Tuesday's earthquake, and the efforts being made to help those who are suffering, disoriented, lost, frustrated and trying to restore order to their lives.

Many other organizations also have news on their websites about the work that is being done. What's important is that much is being done to show love and faith to those who most need our help now.

And let us not forget to pray for the people who have experienced a sudden death.
Many, I am sure, would have wanted to be more prepared to meet our Lord.

These happenings are a powerful reminder to us, to live every day as if it were our last day-
and to be grateful, that we have the opportunity to be "love" to others.
