Thank you Sean for your wonderful blogs. I have felt no need to add to his insightful words.
And it is a good thing because everytime I have tried to blog, I have experienced some kind
of computer glitch. (Tom, I hear you snickering!)
This has been an incredible journey. It will take us a while to process all that we have seen and felt.
So if we seem to be incoherent when we return do not worry, we will get better. Although I doubt that we will every be able to adequately describe this place and experience.
God has been present with us in many ways: through the smiles and laughter of incredible Haitians who have opened their hearts and lives to us; through the natural beauty of this land; through faith at work as we serve and have been served.
As American Christians we have so many blessings, but all of our blessings may be stumbling blocks to our spiritual life. Here, our brothers and sisters live everyday totally dependent on the grace of God, with no illusions that they could handle life on their own. What they say is "If you are alive, it is good, it is the grace of God. Everything else is just the situation."
Amen.
Kathryn
