I have been deeply troubled upon hearing about the Haitians that have lost their lifes in an attempt to escape from Haiti. These poor Haitians paid $500.00 per head to get a space in a very crowded man made wooden boat. Truly sad.

Pondering... Upon the misfortunes of my native people If I could... I would wipe away all of their pain and suffering Pondering... On ways to make their life more meaningful If I could... I would built a safe haven for all, a place where food and happiness is plentiful, a place where children would spend their days in a classroom instead of roaming the streets in search of a morsel of bread to take away unrelenting hunger pangs. Pondering... Why so many people had to drown If I could... I would serve as their solid vessel so they could have landed safely to shore Pondering... Why a land full of beautiful mountains and turquoise beaches also overflows with children whose reddish hair and thin limbs reveals the telltale sign of acute malnutrition If I could... I would do the miracle of the five loafs and two fishes Pondering... Upon life in general. Asking why? Why? Why? Must things be the way they are? If I could... I would put an end to all pain and suffering and all pondering and wondering would come to a screeching halt!!!!!!!!! ©July 2009 Nicole Weaver

Nicole words written from a heart filled with the compassion of Jesus, and I am deeply touched today, so from now on I will pray that each of these pondering thoughts, that God would divinely intervene on your behalf, and for my people too!

Thank you Nicole for sharing, and may God bless you!
