On Helping in Haiti

(c)  By:  Sharon Slaton Howell



Apart from sending money and/or goods,

What can one person do from so far away,

Is probably a thought many have

Who have seen the pitiful scenes from Haiti.

But for those of us who believe in God,

Who have witnessed and felt in our own lives

His all-embracing love and power,

It strikes me, we can pray --

Pray not for just those who lie under rubble

And desperately need to be freed,

But for those helpers so selfless,

Working night and day.

I will pray for their sustenance and safety, too.

They deserve compassion, in my view.

Our heavenly Father is on the ground there.

He has infinite means of giving aid,

And we have the mighty aid of prayer.
