A Prayer for God’s Blessings on Families, Nations, and the World, Day 164, Haiti

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for today. Thank you for what you do for me each and every day and for that which I fail to notice. Thank you for taking care of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I ask that you shield and protect them and guide them in this life. Bring them safely home to you. Let them know that you are there for them. Never let me forget your presence in my life and guide…

Can missionaries and entitled pity/clout-chasing tourists stop asking me "How's Haiti 🥺" when you've been part of the problem forever thanks

Let’s go even bigger on Jill and David treating the cruise like a second honeymoon: they have another vow renewal on the ship or at their port stop in Labadee

Omg imagine.....

My literal first introduction to the Rods (and what got me hooked) was when they did their insane vow renewal. And tbh I'm totally here for another one.

Haitian Independence Day

Celebrating the triumphant moment when a nation broke free, inspiring hope, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity.

Many people don’t realize the importance of this day for several countries all over the world who celebrate their independence on the first day of each year. One important country to recognize this day as their birthday is the island nation of Haiti. Get ready to join in on celebrating Haitian Independence Day! 

History of Haitian Independence Day

Haiti became a free republic on the first day of January in 1804, after a revolution that had occurred over the previous fifteen years, fighting for freedom from France. This important event in the history of the country declared independence for the people of Haiti and ensured freedom from colonial rule.

The story of Haiti’s independence is particularly important because this was the first country to be founded by former slaves, and it was also the first nation in the western hemisphere to abolish slavery!

Taking place on New Year’s Day, Haitian Independence Day, is celebrated throughout the country with various traditions, one of which is a pumpkin soup called soupe joumou. Other celebrations include parties, music and festivities.
