I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. Psalm 37:25
There are no obstacles which our Savior’s love cannot overcome and that to him mountains of difficulty are as easy as an asphalt road! Hannah Hurnard
So many lives were lost….unbelievable damage done to an unbelievable number of homes. Oh, Lord, we are devastated as is our country because of the storm. Please let there be help available to those who suffered damage, lost their homes completely or who have lost a loved one. Soooo many are affected, so many affected, so many. Let each of us think of how we can help…;..donate some food, water, clothing or whatever, donate some money, even if it is just a little we can miss, maybe donate some time at some agency…..lead us, guide us, direct us who to call or where to go. Bless each and every individual affected by the storm, Helene. Thank You!
