How You Can Help Haiti Earthquake Victims - ABC News <----- link for ways to help Please pray for people in Haiti and their families around the world! Pray for survivors to be found! Pray for healing of the injured. Pray for those helping to bring aid! Pray about what you might be willing to give or donate! There are lots of ways to help and lots of good organizations mobilizing to do so! You may be struggling with the why's: Why Haiti? Why people so challenged already? Why people who have been devastated so much by so many problems? No one can answer these questions. We can only look within to ask how are we going to respond. What can I do to help? What am I willing to do? What do I want to do? When and how will I help? These are the only questions that we can answer. The rest is up to others outside our control. The rest is up to God to coordinate through people willing to act as they are inspired to do so. If you do not pray or know how to pray, just think hopeful thoughts about the situation. Repeating talk or thoughts about trauma just creates more negative energy and actually creates harmful chemicals in the brain. I am not saying to ignore things, but thinking hopeful thoughts about people surviving, people helping and thinking how we might help does more than we might imagine. God give them the resources they need to find survivors, heal the injured, and comfort the bereaved, and inspire those that are able to give in any way they can. I heard today that even five dollars helps. If everyone could just give something. The link above goes to a website with ways to help and ways to give. There are many organizations asking for donations in money and goods. God grant me the wisdom to know how I can help! Pass the info on to others. Love, Dee
