"I THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS COMING TO AN END!"

CALLED  THE  POOREST  NATION ON  THE  WESTERN  HEMISPHERE,


HAITI,



HAD  A  7.0  MAGNITUDE  QUAKE  STRIKE  SHORTLY  BEFORE  5 PM,



TUESDAY,  WITH  28  AFTER  SHOCKS...MANY  AT  5.0.



THERE  ARE  A  LARGE  NUMBER  OF  U.N.  PEACEKEEPERS 



UNACCOUNTED  FOR  AFTER  DAMAGE TO  THEIR  BUILDING.



THEY  SAID  AFTER  THE  QUAKE,  THERE  WAS  A  CLOUD  OF



DUST  THAT  COVERED  THE  AREA  FOR  OVER  20  MINUTES.



WITNESSES  SAID  SCREAMING  COULD  BE  HEARD  AND  ONE  LADY



RAN  SCREAMING  DOWN  THE  STREET,  "THE WORLD  IS  COMING  TO  AN  END."



ONE  MAN  TOLD  CNN,  THAT  IT  FELT  LIKE  HIS  HOUSE  WAS 



BALANCING  ON  A  BEACH  BALL.




I  HAVE  LONG  PRAYED  FOR  HAITI.   IT  HAS  A  SPECIAL  PLACE  IN  MY



HEART.   I  KNOW  THAT  ONLY  BY  THE  GRACE  OF  GOD,  I  LIVE  HERE



AND  NOT  THERE.



THE  RED  CROSS  STATES  3  MILLION  PEOPLE  HAVE  BEEN  AFFECTED



AND  THEY  ARE  BRACING  FOR  A  HUGE  DEATH  TOLL.



HAITI  IS  STILL  IN  THE  PROCESS  OF  HEALING  FROM  THE  2009 



HURRICANE  THAT  HIT  THERE.  80  %  OF  THE  POPULATION



LIVE  BELOW  POVERTY  LINE, SURVIVING  ON  A  $1.00  A  DAY.




MAY  GOD'S  GRACE  AND  MERCY  TOUCH  HAITI  AS  NEVER



BEFORE.  MAY  THEY  RECEIVE  EVERY  SUPPLY  NEEDED



AND  AID  ARRIVE  QUICKLY  AND  SAFELY.   MAY  THEY  SEE



THE  WORLD  SHARES  IN  THEIR  SORROW.  MAY  AT  EVERY



BUILDING  THEY  COME  TO  MIRACLES  WILL  BE  FOUND.



WE  PRAY  FOR  MIRACLES  LORD.  REACH  DOWN  WITH  YOUR



ARMS  OF  LOVE  AND  GATHER  THEM  UP  ONE  BY  ONE  AS  A  HEN



WOULD  HER  CHICKS.



MY  PRAYERS  ARE  WITH  HAITI  TODAY  AS  WELL  AS  ALL  THE



OTHER  PEOPLE  WHO  ARE  IN  NEED  OF  A  MIRACLE

  1. Hi Debbie, Thank you for your wonderful post, I will be in prayer also. It does appear that there are many signs around of prophesies of end times from the bible, this may be one of them. How rich we are who live in this country and how rich we are for our religious freedoms. Praying for you also. Hugs and blessings.

  5. Debbie I have a soft spot in my heart for Haiti since we have 2 sister parishes there that I know of. One is in Port au Prince and one in the northern section. I have heard from the one in PAP but not from the other. I have not been there but have many friends who have. We must all pray for them and send all the help we can. Blessings

  8. Poor Haiti. That place is just beset. I feel for them. It was heartbreaking enough to hear how the poorest of the poor eat dirt "cookies" to try to make it thru the day for them and their kids...these folks need a hand in the best of times...and now more than ever.
