Hurricane Katrina

My prayers go out to all the families that have been affected by this devastation........

Now my other short blog to this is a point that my father-in-law brought up last night during his visit to us:

Where are the countries who we have helped before during their devastations and in time of need?? Where are they now to help us??

If you see them, let me know....................

Many lives have been lost, and many more I am sure they will find.........

Very sad, very sad indeed............

Lord, hear our prayers....................I know you will............................

    Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

    It's the infamous double standard.
    IF the US doesn't help a world disaster then it's critics everywhere.
    I'm more for let's bring back the National Guard---and have them do what they signed up for help NATIONAL disasters.

    My prayers are for those who survived my they survive the current standards.

    Darla,

    I am writing to apologize and ask your forgiveness if I offended you with the post about "twins and curses". I forget sometimes that not everyone feels the same way that we do about "trusting God to plan our family." Today I've had one of those days.. "HA, ME?? TRUST GOD? How can I with the gas prices.. how are we going to survive. I am so sorry that I wrote that.. it was during a time when I was on a high horse and in a better than thou mood because of my convictions.. could you forgive me?

    PS You can post this on Matthew's caringbridge page and on here if you would like.. I am copying and pasting what I just wrote earlier tonight.

    "Find Jesus Loves Me, Mom"

    Jason and I were sitting here.. looking at all of the pictures of devastation in The South.. worrying about gas prices.. what are we going to do? How are we going to survive with prices this high? Forgetting that God is over all.. Forgetting that he has promised to carry us through even HURRICANE KATRINA and HIGH GAS PRICES.. and FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON??? I mean I don't know about any of you today but I have been through the mill today.. WHAT are we going to DO how are we going to afford this why why why??

    When all of a sudden this little voice next to me says "Find Jesus Loves Me, Mom!" Oh, did that strike my heart. "Find Jesus Loves Me." Can I still FIND that Jesus loves me? Can I still depend on him to carry us, even with an uncertain future? But aren't all of our futures uncertain? None of us know when he is coming for us. It really shows to me my unbelief.. oh that I could have faith like Laban. Oh that I could always Find that Jesus Loves ME!! It has shown to me how much I depend on him and how much I depend on the economy and the gas prices.. don't you think he can take care of a small thing like GAS PRICES?? I would ask each one of you that you would forgive me for my great unbelief.

    With much Love and God's Peace
    Sarah

    Plenty of foreign countries have offered aid to the gulf in its time of need. Try to look into things before getting all huffy.
