No amount of words could convey what these pictures say.

Especially the top one, the largest one, the one on the front page of a newspaper that I stared at for a long time. And realized I could look at that picture all day long…

The baby boy’s face seeing the face of his mother, how captivating is that?! The mother’s reach to embrace her baby boy, you can feel the surge of emotion. The pure joy of the rescuer handing the baby over to his mother, does joy get any purer than that? The smile on the lady watching in the background, an eruption of hope where there was none. The photo captioned merely: Delight. That’s an understatement. The look of drained relief on the little boy encircled in the arms of a rescuer, on his way to his mother…..

Yes, I could and will keep looking at these photos, especially that one of Redjeson Hausteen Claude looking into his mother’s face and leaning into her embrace. I don’t care if this sounds sappy……this is our shared humanity, when all else is stripped away.

“Amid the horror and devastation in Haiti, there were stories too of hope and joy as the prayers of those hunting for their missing loved ones were answered.”

Yes, this is the picture of faith, hope and love.

Pray for more.
