The last two years have brought unusual financial strain(s) to the inhabitants of our great country. Many have suffered and still do, some are rumored to have taken their own lives as a result of the worry and stress. Many are unemployed and those who are able to find jobs have had to take sizeable cuts in salaries meaning they have a lot less to live on from month to month.
Yet amidst these circumstances it is remarkable to watch the response of the citizens of this nation when another nation suffers tragedy as has happened in Haiti recently. Americans reach deep down in their pockets to give and many go to the area to work in rescue and search teams as well as medical teams to help these people rise from this devastation. Entertainers organize and unite their efforts to raise money to donate to assist in providing fundamental necessities of life and the vast medical needs of the wounded.
Haiti has long been a nation living in the depths of poverty. In addition they have not been blessed with strong capable government leaders but rather weak leaders who have governed poorly. Let us pray for these people and trust that Heaven will bless and smile on them as they rebuild their nation.
