People in Need..

Every time I turn the TV on

I am reminded of the devastation in Haiti.

NO matter what channel,

NO matter what time,

the news is still showing images,

and the reality in Haiti

is still going on.

Yesterday, Simon caught a glimpse of the news

and asked what happened.

After explaining the situation to

my inquistive 4 year-old,

his face got SO sad.

We held hands together

and prayed out loud.

I want my son to have a taste of real life.

This is very important to me.

I want to shelter him in some ways,

but I also want my little boy to

LEARN COMPASSION FOR OTHERS...

to see that there is hurt out there...

to see that WE have a blessed life...

and we are called to

BLESS OTHERS

in ANY way we can.

Whether it be

PRAYING,

GIVING CLOTHING,

FOOD,

OR SPARE CHANGE...

there is ALWAYS something we can do!!!

I don't want to feel helpless

while I watch the terrible news...

I want to HELP in some way...

and encourage my son to learn to help.

Our challenge right now?

Collecting change...

it's simple...

it's not a lot...

BUT IT'S SOMETHING!

Proceeds will be sent to Haiti

through J Serra High School...

and hopefully...

get into the hands of those that are

in a time of GREAT NEED.

Be challenged today.

Bless others!
