I love our country! #Haiti

I love our country! With the recent tragedy in Haiti due to the earthquake, the people of America have once again stepped up to the plate to give, serve and sacrifice for others. Though many people are hurting from loss of employment and a very difficult year, people are still giving. America continues to lead the way in compassion and love toward the world. But why? It goes to our roots. We were founded upon Christian principles. What that means at least in part is that we have learned to give. We have learned to treat others as we would like to be treated. The mature Christian grounded in Scripture also understands that when we give to those in need, it is as if we were giving aid to Jesus Himself. (Mt. 35:37-40) Though many have forgotten these roots, they are still a part of the fabric of our culture and I am grateful that in the midst of one of the greatest trials our country has ever know, that we do not turn a blind eye to the needs of others.

If you are looking for a safe way to contribute to the needs in Haiti, you can give at the following link. A/G has people and supplies on site right now through Convoy of Hope.
