Teaching Little Kyla… Praying for Haiti.
“Teaching Little Kyla…”
A series on Travis and Sarah’s journey of parental flubs, flaws, failures and accidental^ fortune.
A couple of nights ago I was praying with Kyla and we prayed for all the children in Haiti – that God would protect them and be present with them. The next day while we were sitting at the table sharing a meal Kyla closed her eyes and said, “Dear God, thank you for the Haitis.”
“The Haitis” – or, the Haitians. Are we truly and genuinely thankful for all people in the world the make up all of humanity?
I am challenged by my 2-year old daughter every day.
Humility.
^ There is someone(s) greater than me/us (a divine being and a community of people) that intercede with grace and giving.

Forget Pat Robertson, I’m way more excited to comment on one of my favorite contemporary theologians…Kyla Keller.
And what a challenge.
Kyla’s prayer reminded me to thank and praise God for the circumstances in Haiti. No, he is not responsible for the devastation, death and destruction: that’s Satan’s thing. But His Word does tell us to give God thanks in ALL situations. This is one of the toughest ones, but I know He is working much good over there right now. Yes, Lord, thank you for ” the Haitis” and for all of your miracles that You are performing! Praise your name forever!
Oh the wisdom of youth. Thoreau said, “I have always been regretting that I am not as wise as the day I was born.”
May we learn to listen… and truly hear.
INTRODUCTION
In 1492 Christopher Columbus wrote about Haiti: “The most beautiful in the world”. Certainly, Haiti is a wonderful country in the Caribbean. I think that has a special beauty, with a geography and traditional culture that is totally different from all the other countries in Latin America.
