This is NOT my house, I am fortunate. But this house and many others located inland 200 + miles from the coast are flooded. The rains came and came and came. Places that were dry for decades are now knee deep or more in muddy,stinky, insect infested waters. We here in NC are bracing for a long, long clean up. Helping those in our own county as well as those in distant places that have been devastated by floods, many without flood insurance which is onerous, and expensive. We are humbled by the workers who have come from at least 28 other states to help with water rescue and power outages. We thank them all for their dedication.
The youngest went back to the vocational rehab and has been back to his job. He is still practicing his bus stop acclamation but is still scared and having a difficult time, but at least he tries. Even this small step of trying is a step in the right direction.
So my prayer for today is for the linemen, with water rescue people, the post flood muck out people, for the disaster teams that are now feeding and praying and sustaining many in those areas . (If you feel led to give check out Baptist Men And Women Disaster relief , this is truly being the hands and feet of Christ) . Thankful for the fact that God can sustain, will sustain, those in this time and in the recovery time, however long it is. Thankful He is in all things, over all things, and through all things.
