Last week when the earthquake took place in Haiti I was not far away. I was on vacation a couple hundred miles away on a cruise. A couple days later we came as close as 50 miles to the nation of Haiti. It was full of irony. Here we were on a cruise ship with more food than we could even eat and just 50 miles away was a horrific scene of tragedy, disaster, hunger, thirst, and loss. To me it was a picture of how truly blessed I am not just that day but everyday!
A great organization that is helping with the relief efforts is Compassion Services through the United Pentecostal Church International. Check out what is going on on their sites and get involved!
Let's show compassion.
Here are a couple quotes from a book I am currently reading called "Primal" by Mark Batterson:
"Minds often remain closed to truth until hearts have been opened by compassion."
"Compassion is the ultimate apologetic. There is no defense against it."
