I listen to KLOVE faithfully everyday while I am cooking, sewing, cleaning, riding in the car etc and they have been giving updates on the situation in Haiti and taking calls from loved ones with missionaries there that have not been heard from and how we as believers can help. I shushed the kids today during lunch because I wanted to hear what they were saying on the radio and then decided I needed to explain what was going on. I told the kids about the earthquake and that buildings had fallen and lots of children and families were hurt or without homes.
The kids began to say some wonderfully, sweet things. Molly immediately said (without being prompted I want you to know), "Can we go get some kids and bring them here and take care of them mom?" And the boys have said some pretty heart wrenching things too. Cooper who ADORES small beanie baby animals from McDonalds Happy Meals said, "I can share my animals and I will give them pajamas and they can sleep in my bed." And Brody tells me, "Mom, we can give the babies a bottle." We stopped what we were doing at lunch and held hands and prayed. All evening they have talked about those children and how much they want to help them. I can honestly say that makes this mother's heart VERY happy that they are learning to think of others at such an early age.
My heart is in turmoil for the people of Haiti. I am devastated right along with each and every one of them. I have prayed, I am praying and I will pray. Emails are being sent, there are rumblings of a trip during Spring Break, the Lord is moving and I want to move right along with him. Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti.
