Did you have a great weekend? Back to Monday eh? Back to the grindstone?
Stop for a minute and think.
Imagine for a minute that instead of the great weekend away from work you've just had, everything you had, disappeared. Your workplace has gone. Your way of getting to work has gone. Your shop has gone. Your bank has gone. Your supplier has gone.
Stop for a minute and think.
Imagine for a minute that instead of coming back home tonight to your beautiful home, your home had disappeared. Everything you'd worked for has gone. Your building has gone. Your furniture has gone. Your power supply has gone. Your water supply has gone.
Stop for a minute and think.
Imagine for a minute that instead of coming home to the people who love you, that they'd disappeared. Imagine that your street has gone. Imagine that your neighbours have gone. Imagine that your friends have gone. Imagine that your husband, your wife, your partner, your soulmate has gone.
Imagine that your child has gone.
Stop for a minute and think. Really think. Try to imagine what it would be like.
Today we can imagine, because it hasn't happened to us. But it has happened to the people of Haiti. They're hurt, they're scared, they're hungry and they're thirsty. Many of them have lost everything they own, everyone they love.
Today we can imagine, because we're still safe. Today, we can help the people of Haiti. Today, we can help.
Please, if you read, make a donation.
Please, stop for a minute and think. And give.
Stop, for a minute, and think.

Well put. And I did stop and think, and the line 'your child has gone' floored me. Thank Bob we can help.
ReplyDeleteVery well put indeed. I don't even want to imagine that my child has gone - staying well clear of that thought. I really hope that people will continue to donate, not just now, but tomorrow to.
