So Blessed...

It is so easy during the holidays to forget to stop and reflect on how incredibly blessed we are but the extent of the blessings in my life is all the more obvious in the face of the suffering of those in Southeastern Asia. I am so blessed beyond all measure and am so fortunate to have never known anything near the devastation that people in Southeastern Asia are experiencing now. I cannot even fathom what is must be like suffer the loss of over 50,000 people (and probably many more) in a matter of moments. My heart is literally breaking for all of those who are suffering in such a tremendous way right now.

I wish there was some greater way to help, but the best that we can do is offer up prayer to the God who comforts all who mourn and who is able. We can also give:
