Haiti: aftermath of the hurricane

Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos is a Christian orphanage, nurturing vulnerable children in family environments. One worker writes, ‘Finally the winds have eased and we can move about. So many stories of devastation after the hurricane. Houses gone, roofs blown away, animals lost, gardens destroyed - so, so sad. The worst of the storm came in gusts. I imagined Hurricane Matthew was a big dragon, blowing destruction on everyone. I was terrified trees would fall on us and I prayed to God to send His angels to hold back the trees. I imagined the angels doing just that. As I walked around the property this morning I couldn't help thinking the angels had been at work. Some trees fell inches away from children’s homes. The outdoor chapel is a mess, but is the only area in the whole property where there are no houses. How wonderful that Matthew claimed his trees there and not elsewhere!’
