There’s a little bit of Spring.
February 2, 2010
It is cold and gray outside. The sun can barely show its face. My thoughts are heavy.
The recent earthquake has left the nation of Haiti devastated. There are many children who are homeless and are in need of families. They have nothing aside from the clothes on their backs . . . and not all of them have even that.
But there is hope in the God that created them, in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The people of Haiti are in need. There is a strong team of men down there helping the orphans and people of Haiti. You can follow their trip to Rescue Haiti’s Children on Mr. Phillip’s Blog, Twitter, and Facebook. You can help them by giving a donation.
The world outside may seem bleak, but inside there are flowers blooming. A beautiful reminder that there is always hope in difficult times.
There is always hope in Christ.
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant:
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
—Anne Bradstreet
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
Ah, yes indeed! I’ve been praying for those poor people over there. I can’t even imagine how difficult this all is for them. :( I watched one of the video’s by VF, and I just cried for those poor little children…no one there to even hug them and make them feel safe again…no food or shelter for them to be comforted. :( I’m glad we serve a loving Father in Heaven who knows there troubles and can help us show them love and help them in this time. :)
Thank you for the link to the donations…I’ve been wondering if they had one and where it would be. ;)
Blessings to you!

Thank you for that word of encouragement, Emily. That Anne Bradstreet quote is so beautifully true!

We have paper-whites from our neighbors that bloomed yesterday!

Yes, I have been thinking about, and praying for the children of Haiti as well! I have been on Mr. Philips blog and pray for him, and the rest of the men out there helping in Haiti. Despite the devastation, their is many searching for hope, hope that can only be found in our dear Savior Jesus Christ, and I think it is wonderful that their are men bringing the gospel to these hurt people who are so hungry for the truth!
I love the photo of the flower! It is so lovely!
Blessings in Christ,
Miss Antoinette
