The country song said it truly:
You find out who your friends are
Somebody’s gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think ‘what’s in it for me?’ or ‘it’s way too far’
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are
A friend is much more than just a number next to your facebook profile.
A friend comes out to give you a hand two months after his wife passes away.
A friend drives from two states away to work and camp out at the home of someone they’ve never met.
Before this tornado, I could probably count my true friends on both hands. Now, I can’t count them on mine and my family’s hands put together. I’m terrible with names, but I’ll always remember the faces.
Faces that said “I’m sorry”, “let me help”, “cry on my shoulder”. Laughing, praying, singing, WORKING…
You will never be forgotten. Thank you so much.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.- Proverbs 17:7
These are just a few pictures of just some folks that came to our place. This was repeated up and down the valley.
I agree Stephen. It has been so unbelievable and amazing to witness what the body of Christ has done. And they’re still doing it every day.
Whoa, I hope no one was hurt?
I am reading your blog for the first time and am very touched by it’s eloquence. My prayers have gone out to you and the families hit by the tornado, I shudder each time the wind begins to stir. It’s the worst I’ve seen, and all I can say is, “I’m taking notice!”. God bless you and your family. I hope to continue to read more of your blog as time allows. Keep up the good work!
I’m sharing this w/ everyone!!! Thanks AGAIN!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve (my family and Church as well) been praying for you, your family and neighbours. I desired so much to come out there, but was unable to help in that manner. Hope to see you Saturday at Polyface!
