Dear God,

Today I listened to the sweet, gentle voice of faith. I saw your hands and feet at work. I sat among those who care for broken people.

There they were, a medical director of Riley Hospital, paramedics from Wishard, nurses and other non-medical volunteers helping to "break down" antibiotics, counting needles, and packing boxes leaving for Haiti in the morning. I watched them, asked questions and gave thanks.

In the last 48 hours I have had the privilege of walking among those at the heart of the relief effort. Whether with generous children, concerned citizens or medical personnel, I have become more aware of the generosity of people when they know there is a hurting population somewhere in the world.

I hear
the voice
of compassion,
dearest God.
Your mercy
is full
as people
come together
to help.
I prayed
for an opportunity
to help
and you
lead me
to your children.
I am blessed.

Love, Andrea
