I balk at the unfair things in my life, the struggles, the hardships, but then something happens, something like the massive earthquake in Haiti, and I am struck silent, dumb.
I made a donation to an aid organization today and although I am happy to be able to do so, I’m also glad that this small act has not relieved any of the burden that is on my heart for the people suffering in Haiti. That would be too easy. I don’t mean to live miserably but I know that I spend my life much too unaware of the world around me, my blinders pulled in tight.
I’ll hug my daughter when I check on her before going to bed myself and thank God for another day. I am very blessed.
