Yesterday we were hit with a snowstorm. We were told to expect a coating.. While I drove to get gas and then pick up my kids, I was fighting between the emotions of what it meant for so many who were already suffering and the absolute beauty of it all. I know the mess it made for those who are here trying to help get the power back on for everyone and for those who are cleaning up after Sandy.... but, there is something magical about the snow. It reminds me of happy times, and I am trying to get my kids to experience that same feelings when they see the snow.
This morning, while I cleaned the flooded wood with a someone, I tried so hard to not think about many things.... it wasn't always working, but staying busy helping others is definitely a better way of spending my day then thinking. Well I think.
I just received a text from my dear friend, she is awake, and doing alright and for that I am so grateful. I thank you God for blessing the surgeons and hospital staff that helped my friend. I am so grateful to all. As I was texting her, I also received word that the power came back for some in Manasquan... including our Church... this is good for so many. it also means I am teaching Sunday School this weekend..
I began to read The Widow's Offering in Mark 41-44. When we look at how people give (whether monetary or in time) to others it is always amazing to see someone who has so little, providing so much ....So many people have been stepping forward to help this past week, there are many ways we can give!!!!
May we all live in a way that will Glorify God's name....
Amen
