Instead of celebrating, I'm grieving over the fires in California, the 79 twisters that swepted through the United States, the roads that caved in in Maryland, and the terrestrial rains that severely flooded our southern states. God have mercy!
In the right corner of my blog you'll find a banner for the Red Cross. Please donate something.
I also know that the Region's Banks are taking food, water, and other necessities for the twister victims.
Please let God search your hearts as what you can do to help our fellow Americans. This could be you or me one day. We could wake up one morning and find we've lost our loved ones, our homes, and everything we've ever worked for.
Hugs and chocolate, all! Happy Shabbats if you practice!
Shelly
PS I'm working from my iPhone. My internet at home is down. It rained hard this morning with more to come.
We had tornadoes and flooding this week in our state, but thankfully no lives were lost.
ReplyDeleteThat is something to celebrate.
DeleteThere have certainly been a lot of natural disasters, lately. I'm sure people will do what they can to help those affected by them.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteA sobering thought, and so true. We could all easily be in those shoes.
ReplyDeleteSo totally true.
DeleteGood post, Shelly. Makes us all stop and think.
ReplyDeleteWell ...sometimes if violent entertainment can desensitize us then maybe news can, too.
DeleteThanks for making me think of someone else but myself for a change. There are a lot of peole worse off than myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is always true, Roger. Everybody has something to deal with.
DeleteIt's been a heck of a few days with natural disasters.
ReplyDeleteYes. It has, Sir Wills.
DeleteYou are so sweet and caring, Shelly... and you are right in reminding us how lucky we are and to help others in dire need!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you. But we all need to stop and think, say a prayer and do what we can to always help others.
DeleteThis is such a caring post, my prayers go out to those who have suffered in these disasters. We made a donation this weekend to our local branch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that. God bless you.
DeleteThe US has certainly been kicked about by the weather. We hear all about it in Canada and are just horrified by all the disasters.
ReplyDeleteIt is horrifying. Right now, in Florida , the rain continues to come down. The Tampa Bay has so much water, its in houses and cars are floating on the streets. Plus, a parking lot cave in.
DeleteGotta run. Lightning!
We traveled to Philadelphia and back during the worst part of the storm. It took us five hours to make a two hour trip. There was a good deal of flooding and damage from fallen trees. It felt so good to reach our front door. I hope things are better today in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThank God, you arrived safely. And today in Florida, one would never know we had flooding rain and more sink holes.
