I didn't go overseas to help, I didn't spend countless hours volunteering and giving. I've been thinking about it a lot this week, and how I'm thankful for the people who DID give of their time, energy, and who made a lot of sacrifices to stand in the gap.
But, something I did do was ache along side them... and I prayed. I remember my heavy heart. As a new Mom, I tried to put myself in their shoes and imagine what it would be like to lose loved ones, to lose everything you once knew.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy to put things into perspective, and today is one of those days for me. In the midst of tragedy, in the middle of a trial... we may lose everything in this world, but we will never lose what really matters, our relationship with our creator.
I find myself going through these materialistic phases, where I want,want,want and after I get one thing, my mind jumps to the other. It takes a heart transformation for me to realize what's really important.
Anyone else thinking about Haiti today?
