From my devotional reading this morning:
"...It is often true that we do not persist in doing what we have begun, inwardly or outwardly."
How does this relate to our mission at Hands for Haiti? Sometimes I find that there are so many things I would like to help with, I get overwhelmed. I need to constantly remind myself that a few COMPLETED projects are better than a lot of unfinished projects. It's the same with my own life. I need to focus on changing one thing at a time. If I try too many at one time, I get discouraged that I have not accomplished anything.
The Haitians have this mastered, I think. They focus on their basic necessities first - LOVING, LIVING, GIVING - then they worry about the rest. And why should I be surprised at this? God has been using the poor to teach us how to live for Him from the moment He gave us His Son!! I am privileged to be among amazing people every time I am in Haiti!!
God bless your day today!!
