Pray

Today is a good day to tell any or all of your loved ones just how you feel about them. There are some people that have heard this from me but it bears repeating.
How many days have just swept by without giving a thought to the people we love so much? How many days have drug along that we failed to share the love that is within us? One day there is no time to do something or say something to our loved ones. Then the other days we sit alone fretting over our problems, fears, worries or other demons that haunt us. When the opportunity to say I love you to someone just doesn't cross our minds because other thoughts invade our minds and consume our time. We are so very human in this matter. Sometimes we need a nudge, others times we need a two by four across our heads to remind us that we are blessed in so many ways.
Today I am listening to the news and other telecasts of the needs of the people in Haiti suffering from the results of the earthquake. I am brought to my knees for the ones that are suffering from a loss of any loved one. The loss of life effects us all. Have we become complacent to the things happening to others? We are all at a loss if we look at our abilities to help. I may not be able to be there in body, I may not even have the finances to contribute to the cause, I am very capable to pray as God places the empathy for the people in my heart. I don't know that you can understand how these two things are connected, but as I pray for the people of Haiti I have the opportunity to let the people in my life how very blessed I feel to have them safe and ask them to pray with me. Just for a moment I ask you to set aside your own pain and know there are others that need our help and prayers.
I grieve for all who have loved ones in harms way. In Haiti, Iraq, Iran, and other places that the people of these lands are so torn by the things of this world. The things that really have no importance. This is not a political statement it is a plea for all the world to see how God can change all things. If we would only get out of the the way.
