Haiti

I know that all of us have been watching the news about the earthquake in Haiti and if you're like me, you wonder, what can I do to help. I just finished reading a blog entry from Beth Moore and she said we can do two things right now. First and most important, pray. Then get off your knees and open your checkbook. I think that's pretty good advice. There are so many charities that will be popping up and asking for donations, but my choices will be the tried and true. Those who have demonstrated fiscal responsibility and also have good track records. In case you were looking to donate, my suggestions would be Samaritan's Purse (Franklin Graham's organization) , Compassion International and World Vision. If you know of any other Christian organization that is helping, please leave a comment. Also, I would love to know what your churches are doing. If you know of any other tangible ways to help out, please leave a comment.

I was planning my next shopping trip to the grocery store and counting on the good bargains that I would be getting when God spoke to my heart. What a blessed life I have and what poverty and heartache there is around the world. They are all God's children. Jesus says in Matthew 25:40 "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
