A story from Haiti that will touch your heart...

 

“Debbie, when I was in Haiti, volunteering at North West Haiti Christian Mission I was able to give a Mission Gift Bag to Marie Louis, a young mom, just 26 years old.  

Here is her story told by Melonnie of when she first came to the Mission and attached are a few pictures: When young Marie came to the Mission with her baby, she was very sick, and they were hungry and in need of basic necessities.
We fed and treated her at the mission and kep t her baby  boy of 15 months at the near by orphanage while she recovered.

She was so skinny that she looks like just skin an dbones.  She told us that she had no husband and her family could not help her. As Melonnie and I gave the blanket from Gifts for the Nations to her, she smiled and told us that she was hapy because she did nothave a blanket for her baby to sleep on. The following Sunday morning Magdala came and asked me to find clothes for Marie as she wanted to go to church.   I gave her one of my skirts and Susan find a skirt small enough for her tiny body.  I was so hapy when I found her in the crowed chruch and was able to sit next to her.  She showed me that her feet looked much better but said that they still hurt.  I help her feet and prayed, held her knees and prayed and just pretty much help onto her hands for the entire service.  I just kept rubbing them for the entire service while listenting to what she was trying to tell me. 
There was a point where she tugged on my hand to help her stand for one of the songs.  
     Watching her worship was amazing.  She sang and prayed, her hands raised high.
    At the end of the service she tugged on my hand again. This time it was for the invitation.  I helped her up and then let her go.  I watched as she accepted Christ.  
    It was a beautiful moment to witness.  I felt such comfort knowing that she was turning it all over to Him.  That she isn't going to try to carry these burdens alone anymore.”  Melonnie

Verse of the Day
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls for he has no one to help him up.
