All I could do is weep, and pray

I sat in an orphanage built for 48 that now has over 120 children as those that are uncared for as a result of this earthquake continue to seek shelter.

I watched as volunteer nurses overwhelmed with sick children worked hard to provide comfort and care.

I listened to a boy 13 years old with a recently amputated arm explain how he was trapped under his fallen house where all 11 family members were crushed, trapped next to his now dead mother for three days until locals cut him from the rubble.

I wept.

I woke up the next morning thinking about him, and I wept some more.

He is getting good care and lots of love. Please pray for him. His name is Rood.

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Romans 12:9-16
