It's always hard when tragedy strikes, whether it's a tsunami, earthquake or a hurricane or typhoon, but God uses these things to gain our attention, to make us care about the hurting, to make them open to hear His voice, and--I'm praying that is what happens in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. That God brings a great deal of good out of this for all Haitians and uses the relief that is on its way there for His glory.Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153290059324304337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-22840013448761743442010-01-16T11:38:13.980-05:002010-01-16T11:38:13.980-05:00Diana, my heart aches for these precious people.

I love to hear him talk about that time.

Our son served there a few years ago and I was often stunned then by the pictures he sent us then - I can not imagine what that country faces now. And yes Pat is right - puts our troubles in perspective. <br />DebraDebraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913165580019706302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-7964838540591213282010-01-14T19:59:32.951-05:002010-01-14T19:59:32.951-05:00Diana, thank you for posting this.

The Rwandans grabbed my heart and I yearn to go back there some day, for the same reasons-their simple delight in life and their generous sharing even if it is their last meal. And to see the beauty of their land once again. I pray with you. You would like our governor general. She comes from Haiti, and she broke down today as she talked to Canadians. We have a large Haitian poopulation. She does not know if her brother and sister have been saved. Canada has sent relief teams, three ships (one a hospital ship), loaded cargo aircraft with supplies and personnal, military teams have been deployed and expect to stay the next six months, plus engineers and search & rescue teams with sniffer dogs. Your pictures of the children are the ones that bring the most tears. God knows your heart and theirs. Our prayers are joined from around the world. Perhaps, out of this tragedy, the world will work to rebuild Haiti and help its wonderful people become self-sufficient. That is the hope in my heart.Bonnie Toewshttp://www.bonnietoews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-19991116770732593662010-01-14T11:25:44.333-05:002010-01-14T11:25:44.333-05:00Coming here from a link on Rachelle Gardner's ...Coming here from a link on Rachelle Gardner's blog ...<br />just wanted to say thank you so much for this posting!Marcus Brothertonhttp://www.marcusbrotherton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-82619254722167267962010-01-14T08:55:09.926-05:002010-01-14T08:55:09.926-05:00Oh Diana.

I could put the same dress on every morning and still be the best dressed girl in town. I vowed I would never again walk into my closet and say, "I have nothing to wear." The Gabonese have so little, yet they have so much. They love Jesus with a joy I've never seen in the U.S. Beautiful people in Haiti and in Gabon. I'm praying for all.Elaine W.
