The earthquakes in Haiti have brought the world’s attention to a much-neglected country that may finally get the help it sorely needs. The people are filled with such amazing strength and resolve, and I wanted to share some pictures that really spoke to me about the faith that is getting them through:
…strength for fear…
…gladness for mourning…
…and peace for despair.”
Hi Molly. I have really missed you. I hope you are well over all. I think of you often.
And what a wonderful post you have here. I've not seen too many folks write about Haiti. I've seen alot of artists donating a percentage of their sales and that is cool.
This post was a blessing and I will definitely think/pray as to how else I can help as an individual.
Hugs!
