My niece and I are getting ready now to go back to Haiti for a "maintenance run" where we check on each elder and make sure the program is running as smoothly as possible.
There is an air of anticipation. We leave lush green spring here and go to chaos and dust in Haiti.
We leave comforts and food a plenty and go to survival and the site of an elder going without food for days. We leave the land of 10,000 lakes and go to a country where water is "gold".
My prayer for Holly and Susan in Haiti:
Safety and comfort - you know the need Lord
Challenges and stretching - yours alone
Eyes W I D E open
Hearts quietly broken
Compassion ripped unabashedly free
Serving hearts - Minds like Christ
Joyfulness - Praises and Glory to God
Selfishness gone, washed away at least temporarily
Replaced by care for others
Seeing God The Son The Holy Spirit
Everywhere
Susan Schwope
