we have gotten somewhere between 7.5 and 8.5 inches of rain in 72 hours...
roads were closed and things washed away...
homes and businesses flooded...
there was a stiff wind yesterday, too, as Craig ventured out on foot to grab some photos of what was happening around us...
its turned much cooler now and feels more like winter, even though it looks like spring here...
friends of ours, and others like them, have lost their home...
one that took him 2 years to re-do from the ground up...
for his family...
he was in tears yesterday...
wondering what will be now...
where they will end up...
prayers for this family and others would be appreciated...
they are staying with family now...
FEMA is coming in...
and I know they do help...
pretty quickly...
life can change so fast sometimes...
but God has a plan for them...
a bigger plan than they can ever imagine...
and they will get through it...
just really hard to imagine everything being ok again right now for them...
hope you are all safe and doing ok...
we are fine...
and Doug is getting his apartment next Monday...
yeah...
been with us for two and a half months now...
we are all ready for moving day!
;0)
I am ready for some slow down time...
just to not think or do anything for a week or so...
no holidays...
no shopping...
no planning or decorating...
just hanging out in my jammies as winter floats on by...
maybe literally...
water is going down in the yard slowly..
and it is so full of corn stalks...
glad we have a couple months to get it all cleaned up...
going to be a fun spring...

Dear Tete, it seems that so many areas are being hit hard by storms, so many have lost so much. Lifting those who are devastated up in prayer.

Hi Tete, Mother Nature hasn't been kind this year to a lot of people. It is heartbreaking to see all of the bad weather, tornadoes, flood, and all the snow depending on where you live. I have enjoyed catching up with you. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteTete, Glad you are safe. I hate floods, and it just makes me sick to think of the loss of homes and businesses. We have a bit of water trickling in the weep holes. Which torments me . I just hate having to worry and clean...it's me, I just can't ignore it or rest. But then I know I am blessed. Take care. Bless you dear friend, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just have to realize that there are others out there in worse situatins then we are, thanks for the reminder. Sending prayers your way.
