thankful

Haiti this is just aweful. i have been watching the news too much. being consumed. wishing i could do more other than just pray and maybe donate a couple of dollars here and there! i wish i could bring a child home and take care of that child!! bathing clothing and most of all, feeding that child. no child should ever go w/out food. @ bible study we are learning to think of 1 word to best describe our hearts in 2010. i picked THANKFUL. there is so much to be thankful for. i don't have to look around a whole lot to see that!! what word will you choose to best describe your heart????
