With well over 100,000 men, women and children now dead in the Haiti natural disaster, there are a few things I’ve known, but in times like this, they move to the forefront of my mind. Here are some of them:
- We never know when it will be our last day on earth, so we should live like it is.
- Life is very fragile. Never miss an opportunity to give a hug or say “I love you,” especially to someone who’s hurting
- We can’t control many things in life, so we should stop trying to control everyone and everything around us
- Loving God and loving others is most important. We must even love unloveable people
- We are dependent creatures…dependent on other people. There is only one independent Being in the universe, and it’s not you or me.
So today I am curious. What has Haiti taught you?
