Just take a moment.

We woke up this morning to the horrifying images of the earthquake that hit Haiti last night. The scope of it is too large to grasp, and many people are trying to make sense of the loss and destruction, wondering whether any hope lingers over the city of Port-au-Prince today.

Some people are scrambling to find information on family members living in Haiti, and others are struggling to find a way to help.  The Haitians who survived the earthquake and the aftershocks are now grappling with loss on an enormous scale, grieving for friends and family and exposed to the elements without clean water or shelter.  So today and in the days ahead, take a moment to reflect that regardless of your situation, you should be grateful for what you have. Take a moment to pray that these people will find comfort and hope. Take a moment to donate more than you may be comfortable giving.   Just take a moment.

(A quick search on the internet turned up several outlets for donations such as The Red Cross, Global Giving and this detailed list from ItsJustLight.com.)
