Haiti has a way of grabbing "Hold" of your Heart!
Our morning began at a
"Sunrise" Worship service under overcast skies & drizzle but it did not
dampen the Spirits of the Faith -filled Haitian people who so openly welcomed us
and grabbed Hold of our hands as they sang songs of praise.
After a hearty
Haiti breakfast we spent the morning at a Childrens home for sick &
dying. Cribs and toddler rooms were filled with children whose eyes and arms
reached out saying "Hold" me!
We came back to our guest house for some
needed time of decompression before we set out for our afternoon. 2 of our team
members went to help at a wound clinic and the other 9 of us headed for one of
the few orphanages that takes in disabled children. Again we were greeted with
smiling children who longed to be held and played with as they would take "Hold"
of your hand and lead you to the swings, the special hand peddled tricycles
or to the end of the jumprope.
Holding was the easy part of the
day....Letting go was Heartwrenching!
