For Haiti (Post #12)

Yesterday another homeschooling family, my son and I packaged food packets for the people of Haiti. A local church sponsored the event....it was inspiring to see how many people came to help.
The packets contained a simple meal by our standards: rice, soy, dried vegetables, and vitamin powder....to those in Haiti who do not have the abundance as we do...it will be a meal worth waiting for.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have done this...it put into perspective how much we truly have and reminded me that even though the victims of that earthquake are not headline news....they still are suffering and continue to need help.
The Lord places many opportunities in our daily lives to extend a helping hand...my prayer is that we keep our eyes open to those opportunities and then respond in love and thanksgiving.
