Moved...

I find myself turning the TV off lately because I don't want to see the devastation in the south. That is a bad thing, I think. So many people are suffering and having to start all over, while here I sit on my high speed internet connection using my cellphone. There are so many that don't even know if the rest of their family is alive. I was watching the news tonight and there was a mother that was trying to save her baby in the flood waters. She couldn't hold on to him any longer and he slipped away and she hasn't seen him since. She is so hopeful that someone else picked him up out of the flood waters and saved him. I can't even begins to imagine not knowing if one of my sweet babies was alive or dead or where they were. There are starting to be many stories of reunions between families, but there are still so many missing. On Oprah yesterday, there was a doctor on that said they were putting older people that they didn't want to "waist" materials on that were close to death in the morgue alive so they could die peacefully. Wow. You aren't even dead yet, and you are pushed away to die "peacefully". How awful. But, throughout this devastation, I think the best of people has been brought out. Many wealthy people are donating houses, cars, money, and jobs to those that have lost it all. I want so much to pack up a suitcase and go down and help. I was at Pick n save yesterday and they are taking Red Cross donations right at the check out now. The woman in front added $25.00 to her order and the woman behind me donated $20.00. It was truly amazing to see first hand other people's generosity. While Dan and I can't help out financially, I am praying daily for the Country to pull through and heal all those that have been affected. I pray for the families, for their health, and for the dead-that they may be up in Heaven! Please pray too!
