when i heard about haiti suddenly my "problems" this week seemed very very small.
i want to apologize for my very selfish habits lately.
as i watched the news reports i was humbled very quickly.
i sat on the couch awestruck by the completely chaos.
i felt this overwhelming compassion for the people in haiti.
and realized how ungrateful i was being for my wonderful life.
i can't even imagine how scared they must be.
how many can't find their family members.
how many people they will have to bury.
how lost they must feel.
you know what reminds me there is good still left in the world?
when something like this happens,
nations from all over the globe come together and
help.
there are many groups out there to help, but if i could recommend one it would be this one
LDS Church Relief in Haiti.
remember to say a prayer in your heart for the people of haiti.

i have to agree. this reminded me that there is a lot of good in the world; while i was watching the news last night i heard of thousands of people from the u.s., switzerland, england, etc all coming together to help. and it made me want to do my part too - thanks so for posting that link.
You are going to think that I am so lame, but this post made me teary eyed! It's so true how we forget about others sometimes. Those pictures absolutely break my heart. I've been thinking about it so much lately, so it was so cool that you talked about it! Thanks for this post, I seriously needed it.
Oh and I'm going to add this link to my blog if that's okay. Thank you Jalene!
Amen. Totally felt this same way.
I feel the same way. Suddenly my problems seem so superficial! Thanks for posting that link.
