Amidst devastation, chaos, and sadness even the smallest signs of hope remind us that God is good, and is with us even when the odds are against us.
This story had me sobbing with joy, yet complete devastation. This tiny survivor is one of the lucky few who made it through, when hopes had been lost. I cried from happiness to see his smiling face and the character of his little personality, but I cried also thinking of the family he undoubtedly lost, the poverty that surrounds him, and the utter dismay of his country. I want more than anything to scoop him up and bring him into my home.
This story reminds me of the amazing rescuers who are working day in and day out to help those in need, and keeps me focused on what we can do to help this impoverished nation.
Lord, we thank you for the blessings you have bestowed on us, and ask you to usher us in the direction that we may do the most good in this very trying time.
