“Do all the good you can..."

"Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can."
I chose this quote to live by today because of the terrible aftermath of the earthquake in poverty-stricken Haiti. It is just too unbearable to watch… the devastation in a country that was awful before the tragedy, but is now in a tail spin they may not ever come out of. .. When I see the images on the television, I have to look away. What can I do but pray and donate money? These kinds of natural disasters can bring out the best in humanity, people from different nations united in the common cause of helping out his fellow man – working side by side searching for survivors as the clock ticks ever so loudly. This disaster brings up memories of Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 in NYC….such a feeling of helplessness, such a sadness to see the desperation in the victim’s eyes. Eyes are truly the windows to the soul, and that makes it even harder to see their faces. The news told of a mother of five children, four of whom had died, and as the fifth passed, she was wailing the haunting wail that one never forgets…. Jesus said we should do unto others what we would have them do unto us, so we should help in all the ways we can. Its what we would want if we were in their plight…
There are so many organizations to donate to – even $1 will help – together we can make a difference.
