How is it that Haiti and her people suffer so? I question not the God within us, just the humanity. I heard of the tragedy while I was working. A customer of mine casually mentioned that there was an earthquake in Haiti. My own daughter informed me that her own godfather had family that was caught in the quake. I remember shortly thereafter that I was hit even closer to home because I too have family from the island. Family both by blood and by choice. I prayed so last night that the destruction, the calamity, spared as many as could be spared. I prayed that this too will soon pass as tragedy has done so in the past.
But then I also remembered that Haiti is of a strong and mighty peoples as well. Toussaint would still be proud of the peoples he helped liberate so many years ago. I won't begin to allege that I know her full history. I won't behave as though I know the half. What I do know is that while seemingly amidst great tragedy always, the peoples of Haiti have always shown me great love and affections. Their pride is strong yet balanced. Their resolve has always been and will remain strong, maybe even stronger today and tomorrow. I pray that her people suffer little.
For all of my friends and family who have close ties to Haiti, you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. JAH Love Protection and Divine Guidance
