Today the news is full of an aftershock in Haiti that has caused even more devastation. News pictures included the miraculous discovery and rescue of a young woman found unscathed and in good health after a week buried in the rubble. The joy on her face and the reactions of the rescuers moved me to tears. She has been given the gift of new life after what must have seemed a living death entombed in the ground. I can't help but wonder what her future will hold?
The same news programme showed a hospital car park. Patients and staff had been evacuated from the building following the renewed tremors and on the car park staff were helping mothers give birth. Bringing forth Life - urgent and unstoppable life. May God anoint these new creations, born to a people in turmoil.
