Today I invite you to stop complaining. When I turn on the TV or radio, I hear the suffering of thousands in Haiti. These people who had literally nothing have even less today. It is heart-breaking as well as stunningly unfair. You may wonder, where can God be?
He is there, has been there all along with the least among us. He has been working through the hands of aid workers and UN peacekeepers, but the need is so great.
Later in the day yesterday I heard someone complain about driving in the snow, and another ringing with work stress…I thought – what luxury. We have the luxury of complaint – finding problems where often there is none. We have the luxury to worry about everything because our basic needs are met. We have shelter, food and education, we are blessed by the country we were born into…
Thus today, try not to complain. Just focus on the blessing of where you are…There is food, clean water, available doctors, shelter, so much more than our brothers and sisters in Haiti, not to mention much of the rest of the world.
If you are reading this – you are blessed. You may feel lost, alone. You may even be suffering and you are still blessed.
Support Rescue in Haiti.
