I received this in an email recently, and I wanted to share it with you. It brings to mind all the things that we take for granted every day.

Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU, because..... this morning I woke up and knew where my children were. This morning my home was still standing. This morning, I am not crying because my husband, my child, my brother or sister needs to be buried after being pulled out from underneath a pile of concrete. This morning I was able to drink a glass of clean water. This morning I was able to turn on the light. This morning I was able to take a shower... I was not planning a funeral, but most of all I thank you this morning because I still have life and a voice to cry out for the people of Haiti.

Lord I cry out to you, the one that makes the impossible, possible. The one that turns darkness into light. I cry out that you give those mothers strength, give them peace that surpasses all understanding, that you may open the streets so help can come. May you provide doctors, nurses, food, water, and all they need in abundance. For all that have lost family members, give them peace, give them hope, give them courage to continue! Protect the children and shield them with your power. I pray all this in the name of Jesus!!!

I just loved this when it came in my email – it really says it all. Please feel free to cut and paste it and keep it going!
