Well, we had a busy weekend feeding those who were displaced by the flooding. Thomas's school was turned into a shelter for families whose homes were wiped out by the flood waters. We fed them breakfast a couple of mornings and did a movie night on Friday night where we showed Toy Story 2 in Spanish. It was a lot of fun and they were really appreciative. Many of them were at the shelter and only had the clothes on their backs. The river had washed most of their stuff away and looters had even invaded the neighborhood on Saturday night so there was more stuff taken from the area. One lady in particular had a 2 year oldboy and shehad only 1 shirt for him and no shoes. She was asking if I had any extra boys clothes for her son. About2 months ago I cleaned out Thomas and Jacob's drawers and had a garbage bag full of clothes and shoes to give away. I remember praying that the Lord would show me who to give these to in the right time. Well, I knew after talking to her that this bag was for her. So, on Saturday I took the bag up there to her and she was more than thankful! I was so humbled that the Lord used me to meet a need she had. He is so faithful!! The following are a few pictures from the shelter and the feedings we were doing...
(Update---the rain has stopped and the water is receding...there is a lot of mess to clean up and it will take a long time but thank you Jesus the rain has stopped!!! The families from the shelter were able to return to their homes today (Sunday))
