Look Around...Reach Out

You don't have to look far to find people in need. Haiti is a most obvious place, but don't look too far beyond your own neighborhood to find people in pain.

One of my friends is unemployed again, after a couple of years of trying to keep it together.
One of my friends has a scare after coughing up blood.
One of my friends had a massive heart attack a few weeks ago that leaves her in a coma.
One of my friends is recovering from a stroke but trying to deal with his wife's heart attack.
One of my friends just adopted a dog. (Needs prayer!)
One of my friends, with children, has a husband in prison.
One of my friends has a mother who is dying.
One of my friends has a cousin-in-law who died suddenly.
One of my friends has a child who is totally out of control and needs professional help.

As you consider contributions to Haiti, please also consider contributions to your neighbors who are hurting. "Bear one another's burdens, and in that way, you will fulfill the law of Christ"
Gallations 6:2
