Silver lining
Mood:  sad

Just twelve days into the New Year and tragedy struck the world when Haiti was hit with a massive earthquake.  After seeing the devastaion on tv and the internet I would be hard pressed to find the silver lining in such horror, but there is at least that.    Haiti was one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere.  It appeared to be falling further behind the progression of the rest of it's counterparts in the same area.  The world went on without noticing this tiny island except for a few who knew the truth and tried to help before this tragedy struck.  From missionaries, peace keepers and individuals who were touched by the beauty of the people especially the children.  The children of Haiti many of who went on to be adopted by Americans who fell in love with Haiti wanted to give the next generation of Haitians hope in America.  I hope the message is that the world will wrap its arms around Haiti and lift them up.  God Bless
