My Little Corner

We are so thankful for this journey of loving people seriously and intentionally. Our hearts continue to be opened by the newness of our country to this precious Haitian boy. Guerry has had so many firsts in the past 3 months, so many challenges and so many successes. To say we are proud of this new son of ours is a serious understatement. The grace and dignity with which he walks and faces all that he encounters is truly inspiring. What a sweet boy he is! One of the delights of bringing a new person into your home is the connections they maintain from their past. One of those connections lies in Guerry's family back in Haiti. What a sincere, loving family who have a passion for God. I got to talk with them yesterday on the phone. This is a rare treat as making this connection is difficult right now. While speaking to Guerry's brother Sonson, he said something so profound that I can't shake it. He told me that if everyone loved Haiti as much as we do then Haiti would have more than enough. We so love the people there and we are continuing to pour everything we can into making life easier for them. My prayer is how to encourage others to do the same? How to make Sonson's dreams come true? The only thing I know to do is to write, to talk, to share, to encourage and most of all to pray. To pray that the blessings we have come to know through giving would be shared by those around us. Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference? How you can pour into another soul and reap the bounty of blessings that come from giving? There are ample opportunities in Haiti. In Sudan. In Honduras. In Nicaragua. In Myanmar. In the earth. Want to get started? I know of a little town in Haiti that houses sweet people, an orphanage, a missionary. It is one little corner of the world, but it is my corner where my love grows and grows. It is not much and it is not glamorous, but I love that corner and I want to make a difference there for generations to come. I want to educate and feed its children. I want its people to know that God loves them and I want to help spread that love through their community. Would you like to join me? Let me know. I'll share my corner with you.
