Small Light---Long Tunnel
Today things are much better in New Orleans. There is a long way to go but things are moving in a positive direction. My brother made some great points about how long it takes to mobilize our military (see the comment section on the previous entry)…..that doesn’t ease the frustrations of the people affected, but it does make sense.
Our town has set up a Red Cross shelter. There is a large shelter being manned by the Gardendale First Baptist Church a few miles south of us. There is opportunity to help in all of our local communities. A group of medical professionals were unable to get gas to get down to the coast yesterday. None of us can do it all, but we can all do a little bit and it will make a BIG difference.
So for the Labor Day weekend, let us enjoy our families. Let us be thankful for all the ways we are blessed. Let us reach out to help someone in need. Mostly let us give glory to God for this life we have. He is now and always will be in control. Let us not forget it.
That is my “lettuce” lesson for Friday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend
